Both:

- mycreate_list.pl is a command-line tool to create list with the
  fsf-specific idiosyncrasies (multi-domains support, bug work-around,
  default configuration, etc. - i.e. don't use 'newlist' directly)

- savannah_wrapper.pl does the same thing, except that it's not a
  command-line tool, but a cheap RPC that Savannah calls via SSH
  (short of having sysadmin agree that a Savane setup do share the
  MySQL database across computers to avoid such tricks).

Btw, I think I remember restoring mycreate_list.pl from RCS/ a month
or two ago - was it you who removed it?

I renamed 'archive' to '00-oldscripts2keep' because 'archive' already
has a meaning in the context of a mailing-lists system :)

I cleaned-up a couple things too.
