It's actually not necessary to patch mimedefang.pl.  Just set the $Features
and $FprotdHost variables in your filter.

MIMEDefang checks these variables and builds its list of available virus
scanners the first time you run message_contains_virus() [as of MIMEDefang
2.40, older versions check each time you call message_contains_virus()], so
you should set it in the globals section of your filter (the same place you
set AdminName, MaxMIMEParts, ...).
