 If you do not supply any arguments to ./runtest, it searches for an Exim
-source tree at the same level as the test suite directory. It then looks for an
-Exim binary in a "build" directory of that source tree. If there are several
-Exim source trees, it chooses the latest version of Exim. Consider the
