Patch for Syntax file is also required.

Replying to andrew_b:

Patch for Syntax file is also required.

I'm afraid that patch Syntax file would be an universal solution for all platforms.
For example in FreeBSD by default the configuration file is called "configuration" and is put to the /usr/local/etc/exim folder.
In debian squeeze the are a bunch of files in /etc/exim4/ folder and sub-folders called:

• 01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs
• 02_exim4-config_options
• 03_exim4-config_tlsoptions

and so on
For freeBSD i can give you a patch and it would look like this:

 diff -rcs ./ss ./Syntax
*** ./ss        Fri Jul 27 12:02:50 2012
--- ./Syntax    Fri Mar 23 09:55:27 2012
***************
*** 241,245 ****
--- 241,249 ----
  file ..\*\\.(l|y|yxx|ypp)$ Lex/Flex/Yacc/Bison\ssource
  include yxx.syntax

+ file .\configure exim
+ include exim.syntax
+
  file .\* unknown
  include unknown.syntax
+

Ok, we can't use file name because it can be any. We can try to use first line of file to detect that file is exim configuration. We can expect that first line should be something like this:

# exim configuration

In this case, the item in Syntax will be:

file .\* Exim\sConfiguration ^#\sexim\sconfiguration
include exim.syntax

That's ok with me
