We *could* split up bogofilter into multiple applications, but all we'd be doing is replacing
switches with application names: instead of 'bogofilter -u', one says 'bogolearn'.
No real gain there for the simple reason that bogofilter is a single purpose tool that doesn't
generate output that needs further processing.  Note that bogoutil is a separate tool for exactly the same reason. Modularity is good, when necessary. ;)
