	What the heck is this?
	----------------------

All of this stuff is stupposed to be in the home directory
of a user named fftest, which is setup with the virtualdomain
fftest.com. The system is "hobbes.drh.net".

    [fftest@hobbes home]$ echo $USER
    fftest
    [fftest@hobbes home]$ grep $USER /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains 
    fftest.tld:fftest
    [fftest@hobbes home]$ cat /var/qmail/control/me
    hobbes.drh.net

To run the test, run the "dotest" program:

    [fftest@hobbes home]$ ./dotest
    Preping area for test...
    Updating domains.cdb
    Sending test messages...
    Waiting 3 seconds for test messages to be delivered...
    Copying test .qmail files into place...
    Sending test messages...
    Waiting 3 seconds for test messages to be delivered...
    Deleting .qmail files we copied into place...
    [fftest@hobbes home]$

This runs a bunch of test messages through using the
fastforward setup in .qmail-default. The state of these
messages are stored in t*-ff files.

Then the diabled.qmail-* files are copied into place
as .qmail files, and the same set of test messages are
run. The state of these are stored in the t*-dq files.

Then the installed .qmail files are removed and the
t*-dq and t*-ff files are compared to make the t*.diff
files.
