In the default Exim configuration file there are instructions for setting up a
unix listener in Dovecot for authentication:
# Use dovecot as authentication backend

It would be good if this commented example for Exim was inserted into Dovecot's
10-master.conf configuration file underneath the Postfix example listener to
make setup quicker.
