Binary package hint: apt-mirror

Hello,

I've been trying to get apt-mirror to use a different directory than the default one.
I noticed that the base-path setting in the apt-mirror config file is ignored.

After looking at the perl script I saw that the check for the three working directories is done before the processing of the config file.
Thus the alternative path setting would not be applied until after the setting of the work directories.
After putting that piece of code behind the processing of the config file code the alternative path worked.

I've attached a patch file that fixes the problem.
