Why would SpamAssassin create 'config.h', 'Makefile' and 'spamc.h' as directories?
It seems like maybe it has a dependency on some tool that's of a different version
or function than what I have installed -- I guess?  Those sound like valid
filenames, but they get created as directories -- that can't be right...?

Is CPAN supported these days?
Or is there a another version on CPAN I should be using?
Has 3.2.5 been widely tested?
