Little change to send-pr: allow user choose MTA



Hi there,

"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t" is hardcoded in send-pr script, but not
everybody uses sendmail.  That is because I'm proposing the attached
patch, that is adopted by FreeBSD (don't know about other systems).

What do you guys think?  May I open a PR?

P.S.:  That would require a change in the man page too, to reference the
variable.
