- For command line scripts, -C names the configuration file to use. For

  convenient testing, if -C is not given, then the environment variable
  MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE is consulted.

- Mailing lists no longer have a .web_page_url attribute; this is taken
  from the mailing list's domain's base_url attribute.

- Incoming MTA selection is now taken from the config file instead of
  plugins.  An MTA for Postfix+LMTP is added.  bin/genaliases works again.

- The LMTP server now properly calculates the message's original size.

- If a message has no Message-ID, the stock archivers will return None for
  the permalink now instead of raising an assertion.

- IArchiver no longer has an is_enabled property; this is taken from the
  configuration file now.

- In bin/create_list, fixed a unicode problem when the language is defined in
  the configuration file.

- Fixed bin/dumbdb, bin/list_lists, bin/remove_list, bin/unshunt, and
  bin/mailmanctl

- config.archivers is a property now, not a dictionary that needs
  initialization from plugins.

- IMailTransportAgent interface has been added.
