That file (in the src/contrib) area is a direct import of the sendmail
sources.  It's not meant to be a binary directory for users to run things
out of.

As has been mentioned by others, the best solution is to make a symlink in
/usr/local/bin.  I've found that many scripts assume that path for perl.
