Mailman 2.1.6 beta 1

I put together a tarball for Mailman 2.1.6 beta 1, but unfortunately
SourceForge's file upload machine is out of disk space.  For now you can
get the file from:

http://www.list.org/mailman-2.1.6b1.tgz

I'll get that uploaded to SF as soon as possible.

Huge thanks go out to Tokio Kikuchi for all his great work on this
release.

I forgot to add the NEWS file excerpt of changes since 2.1.5:

    - Most of the installation instructions have been moved to a latex
      document.  See admin/www/mailman-install/index.html for details.

    - VERP_PROBES is disabled by default.

    - bin/withlist can be run without a list name, but only if -i is given.
      Also, withlist puts the directory it's found in at the end of sys.path,
      making it easier to run withlist scripts that live in $prefix/bin.

    - bin/newlist grew two new options: -u/--urlhost and -e/--emailhost which
      lets the user provide the web and email hostnames for the new mailing
      list.  This is a better way to specify the domain for the list, rather
      than the old 'mylist <at> hostname' syntax (which is still supported for
      backward compatibility, but deprecated).

    - Added the ability for Mailman generated passwords (both member and list
      admin) to be more cryptographically secure.  See new configuration
      variables USER_FRIENDLY_PASSWORDS, MEMBER_PASSWORD_LENGTH, and
      ADMIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH.  Also added a new bin/withlist script called
      reset_pw.py which can be used to reset all member passwords.  Passwords
      generated by Mailman are now 8 characters by default for members, and 10
      characters for list administrators.

    - Allow editing of the welcome message from the admin page (1085501).
