[ptxdist] [PATCH] install optional symlinks from sendmail to ssmtp

[Alexander Dahl <post@lespocky.de>]

This patch adds an option to create /usr/sbin/sendmail as symlink to
ssmtp which has the same calling options. This is what Debian does as
well and it's helpful for other daemons using sendmail to send system
mail.

Note: the current ssmtp package doesn't set PREFIX at all so the
binary goes to /sbin/ssmtp at the moment. Would be cool if someone
could fix this, I didn't know how. O:-)
