+PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
+      tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work:
+      (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
+          overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
+          function.
+      (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
+          hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
+      (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
+          Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
+      (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
+      (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
+          service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
+          interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
+          changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.
