I got the outstanding patches applied, changelog done, and removed the last
of the Town code.

Outstanding things I have left to do before release...
1. The listserv classes
I want to simplify these by just having a single GenericListserv class
rather than this overly complicated listserv and listserv manager class (and
CommandForListserv and other funny matchers).  Also I want to rewrite the
database implementation since I just deleted the town implementation this
afternoon (as it was the only thing stopping me from deleting town.jar).

2. Add Regex matchers
I've changed my mind about how to do these cleanly. :)  I may still stick
them in a different package to keep the directory listings smaller, but my
planned convention is "HostIs" is the standard matcher, and "HostRegex" is
the regular expression matcher.  Got some matchers Oki sent me, plus some of
my own I'll add.

3. User documentation
We really should write something up at some point.  At least a bunch of
simple howto's.  ideas to do...
a. how to setup user accounts for pop3
b. how to setup a database for message storage
c. how to setup a database for user accounts
d. how to write a mailet
etc...

4. Log files getting wiped
This seems like a "feature" of the new Avalon, but every time you start
James, all the log files are wiped.  If anybody knows more about this,
that'd be great, otherwise I'll start digging in shortly.

I think that's about it... I'll start some testing soon and then update the
website for the 2.0a1 release.  I figure we'll the user/dev listserv know
about this, find the problems we forgot to patch, and then maybe for the a2
or b1 release announce to the rest of the world.  If anybody else sees a
patch that wasn't applied or spots another bug, please let me know.  Thanks!
