After beating my head against this for awhile, I came to the conclusion that 
getting the shared libs in the 'right' place can wait for when we aren't 
trying to fix a serious bug.  Currently daemon_directory=/usr/lib/postfix and 
the daemons are in /usr/lib/postfix.  The shlib_directory=/usr/lib/postfix, but 
the shared libs are currently (incorrectly according to the upstream 
documentation) installed in /usr/lib.  Rather than fix the location, I just 
changed daemon_directory=/usr/lib.  That solves the immediate "postfix won't 
start" problem.  

Assuming lamont is OK with this once he wakes up, one of us will get it 
uploaded.
