I'm sure that those who maintain the Exim package in Linux (and other
OS) distributions will also step up where necessary. I certainly expect
to.

As for development... I've never really got it into my head that it
would be _acceptable_ for me to commit stuff. I should probably get over
it. Any objections to me committing the latest version of Johannes'
dynamic-lookup patch from bug #139?

I wouldn't mind someone testing it on non-Linux systems, although it's
not the _end_ of the world if doesn't work there to start with; they can
still build everything in as we do today.
