What we need is a big patch, which includes most of the useful patches
and the patches which could be disabled by configuration files.
Something like ezmlm-idx (which is a big patch to ezmlm). It would be
nice to enable/disable options with configuration files, not with
patching qmail. This patched qmail could get a different name
(qmail-unoff? :)
