That would not be straightfoward to implement because exiwhat sends a
USR1 signal to every running Exim process to ask it to say what it is
doing. Signals don't have options... :-) Of course there are ways to
hack round this: use USR2, for instance, or get Exim always to output
the version and exiwhat to hack it off again... but I really do think I
can use my time more usefully. Sorry about that, but I might as well be
honest.
