[Pkg-exim4-users] Exim.conf file

I think it would benefit from explaining the /etc/exim4/exim4.conf
option near the top of the file, and noting it as suitable for people 
experienced with writing exim configurations.

Also, rather than just explaining how the different configuration
schemes work, also give some examples of different macros that can be
used with the standard configuration.  That is, show some examples of
how a 000_localmacros file can be used, and how setting some specific
macros there will affect operation of the exim installation.  A
comprehensive list of macros defined in the standard configuration, or
at least a list of the most likely useful ones, would be nice too.

Note these are based on the sarge situation, I haven't looked what
changes are currently in etch.

HTH,

Alex
