The /var/run/milter, /var/log/milter, /usr/lib/pymilter directories and
start.sh are not used at all by pymilter.  They are simply there so that some
package can own them, and since all python milters use pymilter, it made sense
to put them there.  However, not all python milters use those directories, so
maybe it doesn't make sense.

Milters can be written in any language - C being the most popular.  Only
milters written in Python use pymilter.  And even those don't necessarily use
the log and run directories provided.

Now I am leaning toward removing the %config flag from start.sh and leaving
things the way they are otherwise.
