Attached you'll find a patch for the most current version.
I'm not sure about the naming.

    -bP configure_file


vs the new

    $config_file
    $config_dir


And - what about included files, should the '$config_file' contain the
name of the file Exim is currently processing?

I thought about the following naming:

    $config_file - the main config file
    $this_config_file - the config file, Exim is currently processing


(samit with dirs).

Or

    $config_main_file - the main config - according to the internal naming
    $config_file - the file, Exim is currently processing. (For me it's
                   confusing)
