No!  Because in fact the absolute path to the LSVSPOOL directory <takes
the place> of "-t" in the alias.  If you need to code an absolute path
it should look like this:

l-whv: "|/etc/local/bin/lsv_amin /var/spool/listserv l-whv"

So what you really want is

      echo "$(NEW_A): \"|$(BINDIR)/lsv_amin $(LSVSPOOL) $(NEW_A)\""
>>$(ALIASES); \

Although we don't really advocate modifying the non-user-configurable
area of the Makefile.  I'm looking at modifying the Makefile for a
future release in order to solve this issue, which is really only
an issue if you are using the precompiled binaries and aren't using
the default for LSVSPOOL.

On the other hand, Bill, if you're not using the precompiled binaries,
lsv_amin already knows that "-t" refers to whatever value you set in
LSVSPOOL when it was made, so if that's the case it's in fact not an issue.
