Well, no good for me, since queue_remote is no good for me. But I imagine
it would be useful for some people..

Anyway, I don't think I'll have any problems at all with the config file
being zero length now. I've modified Exim to get a shared lock on the
config file before reading it (which is probably quite expensive but I
can live with it), and the program which updates it gets an exclusive
lock, so there shouldn't be any conflicts, if I've understood everything
right. (Seems to be working anyway.)
