 PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
       in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.

 PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
       forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
 
+PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
+      hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
+      understands it better than I do:
+
+      "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
+      authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
+
+      On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
+      This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
+      => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
+      => three warnings about OTP not working
+      => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
+
+      With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times.  But now
+      SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
+      authenticator.  Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
+      gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
+      for each call.)
+      => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
+      nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
+
+      I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
+      unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
+      caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."
+
+PH/25 When debugging is enabled, the contents of the command line are added
+      to the debugging output, even when log_selector=+arguments is not
+      specified.
+
+PH/26 Change scripts/os-type so that when "uname -s" returns just "GNU", the
+      answer is "GNU", and only if the return is "GNU/something" is the answer
+      "Linux".
+
+PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a
+      verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In
+      particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this:
+
+         warn  !verify = sender
+               set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
+
+      Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message"
+      and "log_message" when a very denied access.
+
+PH/28 Modified OS/os.c-Linux with
+
+        -#ifndef OS_LOAD_AVERAGE
+        +#if !defined(OS_LOAD_AVERAGE) && defined(__linux__)
+
+      to make Exim compile on kfreebsd-gnu. (I'm totally confused about the
+      nomenclature these days.)
