Rationale:

	Many system supplied binaries are using older code bases or code=20
	bases where features are missing or not enabled.  Two cases
	immediately spring to mind:  postfix, and the lpr printing system.
	I replace both of these with pkgsrc versions (postfix with TLS + auth
	and cups.)  However, many scripts expect (or even the binaries
	call among themselves) specific pathnames, or those paths are
	listed first for root users but not for normal users.

	I hate getting a different lpr as root than as my normal user.

	I have a working and well tested implementation using mailer.conf to
	replace  the pkgsrc bits for postfix.  I've attached the diffs to this
	message if anyone else is interested.

	Installing only one version of these tools would simplify maintenance and
	upgrade.  Additionally, while nearly every binary in the system can be
	defined as an "add on" (even ls, if you argue that much about it) the
	selection of mailer is very much a religious one, and while postfix and
	sendmail are in wide use, so is qmail, which is not in the base install and
	should not be.

Pros:

	pkgsrc has more featureful versions of these.

	pkgsrc can change faster than the base.

	Most people need outgoing mail, not incoming mail on thier machines, so
	postfix/sendmail could be replaced by a nearly brain-dead outgoing mail
	client only.

	If a more featureful mailer is required, make it easier to replace the sys=
tem
	one with the package.  I have patches to use mailer.conf to do this for
	postfix.

Cons:

	People will complain.  :)

	In order to have existing functionality, one has to install bits from pkgs=
rc.
	Most of us do that anyway, but this just adds one more tool, along with
	tcsh, etc.
