[Mimedefang] File::Scan

[Rich West]

Just curious, but how did you go about integrating it into your filter 
for your tests?

Also, after going through the docs a little, it looks like the virus 
definition file can easily be updated, but the method of gathering the 
data to add to that file is somewhat cumbersome..

I would think that the author would need to make it easier to download 
the latest signatures.txt file separate from the distribution in order 
to make it more workable..
