linux paths.h


I noticed recently that _PATH_MAILDIR under linux has been changed to
/var/mail. I was under the impression that it was /var/spool/mail, just as
quite a few programs seem to expect. Is this considered the new standard?
I see in the changelog it is... Someone should put that into the FAQ, as
it caused me a small headache upgrading sendmail and may bite a few
others.
