I'm still not satisfied with what I have done with my limited git knowledge.
Starting from my rebased 1031 patch (as explained by Todd),
I tried to feed this into the fbsd ports system and so gave it a suitable
release tag:
---
git tag -f exim-4.80
release-process/scripts/mk_exim_release.pl --no-docs --verbose 4.80
---
This worked all well, but ended up in an executable called
    Exim 4.80_RC7-4-f6fde0c (FreeBSD)
in the received header.


Would I better have chosen a tag like 4.81_RC0 ?
