mailwrapper effectively prefers ${LOCALBASE}/etc/mail/mailer.conf before
looking anywhere else. This allows us to simplify and straighten the logic =
of
the mailer.conf and mailer.base targets:

"make mailer.conf" creates a fresh ${LOCALBASE}/etc/mail/mailer.conf file,
pointing to the proper locations of the port's sendmail binary, while

"make mailer.base" will simply remove this file, thereby putting the system
/etc/mail/mailer.conf back in production.

Apart form simplifying the logic, this would avoid tinkering with the system
mailer.conf (as it is done by the current logic).

Let me know if you'd like to see a patch as it's pretty straightforward.
