OK.  I'd be interested to know why it's wrong.  And is the whole idea
wrong, or is just /usr/lib in particular a bad place to store it?

I don't like the "sendmail.real" idea for aesthetic reasons.  I guess
my real point is I want it to be called "sendmail" and just be stored
in a different directory.
