Summary: Move contents of DSPAM_HOME/txt to configuration

Initial Comment:
The contents of DSPAM_HOME/txt (templates for sending e-mail and tagging 
scanned messages) are no application data but configuration directives. As such 
they should either be moved to the dspam configuration directory (which does 
not exist currently), or to a configuration directive in dspam.conf

I see a few options here:
- pass location of txt directory as an option to configure script (possible but 
kludgy)
- set location of txt directory in dspam.conf
- set location of each file in txt directory in dspam.conf
- put contents of each file in txt directory into a directive in dspam.conf 
(very messy)

Message:
For the record, Debian ships these files into /etc/dspam/txt/. This is done
to comply with the Debian Policy which ensures configuration files are all
in /etc
 
All the conf files are then in /etc/dspam/ thanks to the --sysconfdir
configure option, and here is the patch we use to retrieve the right
location: 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-dspam/dspam.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/004_where-to-find-txt-files.diff

The path is actually hardcoded, I would however prefer setting the
location in dspam.conf (your 2nd proposal).

Cheers,
Julien
