Hi, as this pull request came from me I'd like to make a comment here :)

First - I was pretty impressed by round-trip-time here, patch was
commited few hours after I forked exim repo - I am familiar with a bit
longer waits (like, my patch to FreeBSD's split(1) was commited about 6
years after filling the bug ;)

I like that philosophy, but I'm not sure if I understand you well - is
it better to do pull request from my fork (like I did yesterday) or to
create .patch file and upload to exim's bugzilla?

best regards
