Eric,

I'm responsible for the strstr() check.  Adding BOGODIR doesn't make sense 
for my environment where I use system global word lists, which are in 
/var/lib/bogofilter.   Now that we have BOGOFILTER_DIR to specify the 
directory, maybe we no longer need to deal with BOGODIR, a.k.a. 
"/.bogofilter/".
