BACKGROUND
bin/loaded Some dynamically loaded functions for testing dlfunc support.
-bin/server A script-driven SMTP server simulation.
+bin/mtpscript A script-driven SMTP/LMTP server simulation, on std{in,out}.

+its input and output instead of a script. However, it is not called from test
+scripts; instead it is used as the command for pipe transports in some
+configurations, to simulate non-socket LMTP servers.
