added a snippet to T.__init__ to make it possible to move archives

from one place to another.
simply take the basedir argument as precedent over the saved state
version of basedir.
I initially considered doing this for the purpose of upgrading list
html archives from cvs sources between b5 and b6.  Seems as though
anyone who set up pipermail archiving previously will benefit from the
change, and that it's a good thing for the pipermail module to.
