Add mlmmj-receive link?

Add mlmmj-receive link?

[Charlie Brady]

I know from the archives that there are "historical reasons" for 
mlmmj-recieve being spelled as it is. But is there any reason that it 
couldn't be installed with two names (via links), and referred to 
thenceforth via the correct spelling?

We neither want to teach people bad spelling, nor have good spellers often 
mistyping the name of the command.

Or am I missing something?

If not, I can prepare a patch.

Doing the patch to change the spelling everywhere is easy. But it looks 
like I need to learn automake to provide the links. Does anyone know 
automake well enough to quickly determine what is needed to add the links 
at "make install" time? If not, I'll work it out eventually.
