I am not entirely sure how this differs from support for "ldaps" (which
Exim 4 already has). In Exim 4 you can write

${if ldapauth{ldapquery}{yes string}{no string}}

and the query can use "ldap" or "ldaps" as required.

Basically, I want to know if it's worth my while understanding the
posted patch's code for explicit startssl support, or whether "ldaps"
can do all that is needed for Exim usage.
