The plan for mailer.py and locking support

I've talked it over with cmpilato today, and here's my plan for
mailer.py:

1. Revert the "Take a config file from STDIN" support (Mike wrote about
this to the list a few weeks ago--it was put in, but never really used
by anyone as far as we know.

2. Modify mailer.py to take locked/unlocked paths from STDIN, separated
by newlines (which happens to be, incidentally, how they're passed to
the post-commit lock/unlock hooks).

3. Add lock and unlock subcommands to mailer.py that will send out a
mail using the standard mailer.py config file, looking something like:

Subject: svn lock: base_path
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Author: username
Date: date

Locked:
   path/to/path1
   path/to/path2
Lock Comment:
Your lock comment here.
It may span
multiple lines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have any comments, insights, or suggestions before I start
coding?
