This is more an autoconf question than a Mailman question, but ...
I don't know how you can do this in general, since on a given system,
Mailman can be installed anywhere and there is no guarantee or even
likelyhood that Mailman's bin/ directory is in the user's path. Also,
there is no guarantee that the Mailman userid is 'mailman'.
If you can find the Mailman installation, version information is in the
file Mailman/Version.py.
