Suggested script change for newaliases




Currently newaliases starts as follows:
=>head newaliases
#!/u/fenris/zmailer/bin/router -f
#
# This zshell script recreates the traditional aliases file database.
#
#
ZCONFIG=/etc/zmailer.conf

Since /etc/zmailer.conf is hardwired into the executables would not the 
following be better form

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/zmailer.conf
$MAILBIN/router -f

...

This gets around the 30 character limitation in the startup #! line,
and also means one less place to fiddle with when you move zmailer.
