Script for updating spam assassin rules du jour.

http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour

<snip from the page>
RulesDuJour is a bash script intended to automatically download new
versions of SpamAssassin rulesets as the authors release new versions.
RulesDuJour is based on bigevilwget, which came across SA-Talk sometime
back... I couldn't find the original author. If you know who wrote the
original, please post here.
