 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21

 TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton.
 
+PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
+      with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
+      Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
+      preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
+      scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
+      so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.
+
+PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
+      in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
+      write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
+      This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
+      would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
+      doesn't have to be particularly precise.
