Stable creates the same links to mailwrapper.

You want to set NO_MAILWRAPPER in make.conf to prevent the linking to
mailwrapper.  But if you do this, you'll loose the configurablity that
mailwrapper provides for alternate MTA's via /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

Qmail install shouldn't need to install anything into /usr/[sbin,bin]
directories with mailwrapper properly configured (see `man mailer.conf` &
'man mailwrapper').

Mailwrapper was designed so that you didn't need to re-create your links to
your personal MTA (in /usr/[bin,sbin], when upgrading FreeBSD.
