	The sources of 4.0 as of last night's CVSup [Mar 6, 2000].

>Description:

	I'm using qmail on 4.0, and the 'make world' thing keeps
	overwriting the symlink of /usr/sbin/sendmail pointing to the
	qmail wrapper /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.

	I've tracked this to the SYMLINKS= line in the Makefile of
	/usr/src/usr.sbin/mailwrapper/ and tested a small patch that
	will inhibit the creation of SYMLINKS if NO_SENDMAIL=yes.

	It doesn't seem to break 'make install' of mailwrapper, but it
	keeps my link safe from being overwritten.
	See the included patch below ;)

>How-To-Repeat:

	If you're using qmail, make the link from /usr/sbin/sendmail to
	point to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.  On your next 'installworld'
	the link is overwritten with a link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper.
