Well I just decided to try it:

From within the directory where I unpacked the tarball:
./configure --prefix=/var/mailman --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-mail-gid=mail --with-mailhost=fpen.org --with-urlhost=lists.fpen.org

then "make install" and it appears to have worked. Default.py has the future URLs in it. I could not find documentation for --with-mailhost or --with-urlhost in section 2 of the INSTALL file or anywhere else.

I agree with you. I do not think it wise to edit the Defaults.py file but the above process looked like it might be more orthodox. I'll let you know if I encounter problems.

 I suppose I should just shut-up and try it and see what happens...
That's correct.  By not modifing Defaults.py you put a 'legacy' url in there
so its posed to confuse the next admin that takes your place (heaven
forbid...).  But I believe thoes are there for example purporses, and your
not lucky enough to have the 'defaults' work.

You can edit Defaults.py, I personally see no harm in it other than it'll
break future source patches and maybe you'll forget working syntex's if you
mess something up.  But that's nothing that can't be solved by refering back
to the Defaults.py in the tarball.
