Gnu configure is good for determining portability features, but not for
configurability features - the command lines get unwieldy.
Anyhow, if there is syslog support then I would much rather have it always
enabled and configured in by the startup file. There may also be issues
of length of log lines - exim writes some seriously long lines if you have
logging of subjects and recipients, and some (old) syslog libraries would
take that as an invitation to overwrite your stack.... so exim would also
need to change its log format to avoid opening new security holes. Ugh!
