I have thought that mailscanner had _FINALLY_ stopped messing with
exim's _INTERNAL_ data structures which is absolutely _ASKING_ for
trouble. Alas, it doesn't seem to be that way. Bad program.

The following patch allows the spool directory variable (which has
been renamed to EXIM4_SPOOLDIR) to be overridden fromthe parent
environment.

Mailscanner _IS_ a bug. See above.
