Re: Alpha release of Maia Mailguard 1.0.5

I like the idea of a unified maia codebase. After all, the php code, maiad
and the perl scripts are for all *nix OSes.

We have the Linux parts mostly segregated in the "installers" and "contrib"
directories, and there should be a similar way to keep the *BSD parts
distinct from the common core.
