It is on my list for adding to the Exim 4 FAQ. I don't know when I'll
get round to it, however.
But I have done something else. In 4.03 I improved convert4r4 to try to
fix the problem:
25. Updated convert4r4 to check for colons that look as if they are part of
expansion items in require_files lists (e.g. ${lc:xxxx}). In Exim 3, the
whole list was expanded before splitting up, but in Exim 4, the splitting
happens first, so such colons must be doubled. The conversion script now
doubles such colons, and outputs a warning message. The test for one of
these colons is a match against "\$\{\w+:".
