I'll run my tests on it; I guess if they all work it seems reasonable to
consider applying it, but I'm not at all an expert on this stuff. I
suspect that Florian knows a lot more than I do about it.

At a quick look, it seems to remove *all* RSA support, just leaving the
D-H support. Is that correct? Surely we want Exim to support both RSA
encryption and D-H encryption? Or have I missed something here?
