Matt, take a look at bugzilla #62 -- there is more discussion of exactly
this there.  If you re-order the rules, then the only problem with
short-circuit scoring is razor submission.  If "-L" is used though, this
is irrelevant, you can just exit when the threshold is exceeded.  It
would probably be good to indicate that score evaluation was
short-circuited in some header or other (probably just tack on the
X-Spam-Status) so people don't get confused.  Also, you'll want to make
sure none of the "make test" stuff needs adjusting for the new scores
some of the mails will get.
