--help is specially detected as the first option only (in general exim
does not take -- options). If it is seen then it is acted upon by
setting all arguments to zero, which if exim is called as "exim"
will force a usage message to be output.

However, if for example, it is called as mailq, ie
mailq --help

then a mailq operation is still performed.

This is strange. Unfortunately fixing it does require a little fiddling.
