FreeBSD Port: MailScanner-4.78.17

[andrea crisanti]

Dear Maintainers of MailScanner port,
        I updated the Sophos virus scan engine to version 4.47 on a computer
running FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE amd64.

The new engine uses, besides the old virus databases files, new files
called xvd??.vdb

To have it working I had to modify the script sophos-autoupdate
installed under /usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/ to symlink them
in the IDE directory.

With best wishes,
Andrea Crisanti

A solution was proposed yesterday on the mailscanner list.  Evidently,
the kludge is only required for Sophos v4 (not v5).
