commandline overrides the definitions in the conffile -> think the
other way around:

cffile: FOOBAR = default-value-lazy-admin

and just before you'd use the macro, check whethet it's the above
default (so no commandline definition has been given). no idea though
on how to make exim panic forcibly. i'd assume you are creative enough
to get it to :)
