Stephan and I talked about this over the phone, and this is much more
tractable in MM2.1. (Do I sound like a broken record yet?  For you
kids in the audience a "record" is what we dinosaurs used to listen to
while consuming RC Cola, Moonpies, and hacking until 4am. :).

Anyway, in MM2.1 these wrapper scripts only need to know all the
available list names.  They don't need to create, open, or access
MailList objects or attributes.  They are much simpler.

I think it should be easy to to implement Utils.list_exists() in a
Zope-friendly way.
