I've currently managed to make a working white/modlist plugin under Sympa 
6.2.4.  It needed a lot of changes for the new plugin format; however I've 
managed to clear up some duplication as well which is good.  Ironically, 
under 6.1, the white and modlists could share the same Perl module but needed 
separate TT2 templates; under 6.2, they can share a single TT2 template but 
must have separate (but identical) Perl modules.

It can also work as a good example of how to write a custom_action plugin as 
it is very simple.

The add-in consists of:
- whitelist.pm and modlist.pm in the custom_actions directory (these are 
identical apart from package name)
- whitelist.tt2 in the web_tt2 directory (this is actually used by the 
modlist as well)
- include.send.header in the scenari directory (to add the white/modlist 
searches to all send scenari)
- an empty default whitelist.txt and modlist.txt in the search_filters 
directory
- some changes to nav.tt2 in the web_tt2 directory to add the white/modlist 
links under the Subscribers dropdown
- some changes to search.tt2 and review.tt2 in the web_tt2 directory, to add 
the whitelist and modlist buttons

I will post here once I finish testing.
