[freeside] Install Hints (i.e. finding MailTools)

[rbstewart]

I tried to use the recommended CPAN bundle, but it installed them in the 
wrong order according to the program dependencies and therefore some of 
the modules failed to install.  I went back and installed everything in 
the order that is listed in Ivan's documentation and followed the 
program dependencies religiously (there are modules required that are 
not in the docs) and everything worked fine afterwards.
