Bug#406989: need to tell exim4_refresh_gnutls-params to use a different spooldirectory

Package: exim4
Severity: normal

Using exim4 with MailScanner modifies the configuration so exim has
two spooldirectories. First one for incoming messages (exim4 ...)
second one for outgoing (exim4 -DOUTGOING ...). MailScanner takes the
messages from incoming, scanns them an places them into outgoing.

To run exim_tidydb and generate log-reports in the outgoing
spooldirectory I tell the users to copy /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base and
patch it to call exim4 with "-DOUTGOING".

This works except for the refresh of the GnuTLS parameters because
this is handeled by /usr/share/exim4/exim4_refresh_gnutls-params which
itself calls exim4 to find the spooldirectory.

So I need a way to tell exim4_refresh_gnutls-params to deligate the
-DOUTGOING to its exim4 call or tell exim4_refresh_gnutls-params
directly in which spooldirectory it should work.
