Well, I sometimes write shell scripts of several hundreds of
lines. But in Exim configs, you usually don't see such stuff.

match takes a string to match and a Perl5-compatible regexp.
exists just checks for existance of the file.

I can't tell you much about webbable interfaces, but it should be
easy enough to input username and password and run crypt(3).
I'll send you some source by private mail.

The reason is that I wrote it without using crypteq, and eq
doesn't care of the order of arguments.
