LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
---------------------
-This file contains complete lists of three kinds of Exim option:
+This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option:
1. Those that can appear in the run time configuration file;
2. Those that can be used on the command line;
4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor
(Local/eximon.conf).
-This file was last updated for Exim release 4.40.
+This file was last updated for Exim release 4.72.
1. RUN TIME OPTIONS
in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions.

3. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
------------------------------
-The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
-Local/Makefile when building Exim. More information about individual options
-can be found in src/EDITME and OS/Makefile-Default.
+The table below contains a "mostly" complete list of options that can be
+set in Local/Makefile when building Exim. The only items not included are
+those whose names can be trivially derived from rules stated below.
+
+More information about individual options can be found in src/EDITME and
+OS/Makefile-Default.
The second column below gives the type of option:
actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.
+When building Exim with dynamically loaded lookup support, for "LOOKUP_FOO",
+you can define "LOOKUP_FOO_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_FOO_LIBS", for includes and
+libraries specific only to that module. These rules are only used where the
+relevant lookup is a module. These options are not explicitly listed below.
+
+Variables with names endined `_PC' are used for pkg-config integration; setting
+the value to the name of a pkg-config package will cause Exim's build system to
+query the --cflags and --libs for the given name, when building anything
+dependent upon the component associated with the `_PC' variable. For lookups,
+if the lookup is dynamically loaded, then this *replaces* the use of the
+corresponding _INCLUDE and _LIBS options, which will be ignored. If the lookup
+is statically loaded into Exim, the results will be inserted into the
+"LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_LIBS" options. For authenticator, the results
+will be inserted into the "CFLAGS" and "AUTH_LIBS" options. These options are
+only listed below for the TLS implementation cases.
