Unfortunately, not too well. Patches accepted. The only documentation
for that feature are the few lines of comment preceding it.

split-config? non-split config? Or something hand-written? Sometimes
it's a disadvantage to be -that- flexible.

I think, that 1-3, 6 will help you. I don't know whether it'll be
enough. To understand a basic exim config file, you do not need to
know how to build exim, you don't need to know about the command line
options, and you do not need to read an alphabetically sorted list of
all available options from beginning to end.

Greetings
