Cope with -CURRENT's new tri-state sendmail_enable rc.conf(5) variable
by using an rc.d script to launch Exim, as was done before I took over
this port.

This seems to be the most popular approach, and is arguably the
simplest.  Folks like me who attach some aesthetic value to using rc(8)
and mailer.conf(8) to launch Exim at startup time should know enough to
blow away the rc.d script and do things any way they please.

For now, use two versions of the POST-INSTALL-NOTES, the only
difference being that the one given to -CURRENT users suggests setting
sendmail_enable to 'NONE', while the one for -STABLE users suggests
'NO'.

Include my preferred work-around, which is to add the library paths   of problem
packages to ldconfig_paths in rc.conf(5).

Cope with the fact that at least one 3rd-party package against which   Exim may
be linked (MySQL) uses a startup script to add its library   path to the linker
hints.
