Installed a modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch that

stores GnuTLS parameters in a format that can be generated externally.
It is upwards, but not downwards, compatible (warning in
README.UPDATING).

+Version 4.51
+------------
+
+The format in which GnuTLS parameters are cached (in the file gnutls-params in
+the spool directory) has been changed. The new format can also be generated
+externally, so it is now possible to update the values from outside Exim. This
+has been implemented in an upwards, BUT NOT downwards, compatible manner.
+Upgrading should be seamless: when Exim finds that it cannot understand an
+existing cache file, it generates new parameters and writes them to the cache
+in the new format. If, however, you downgrade from 4.51 to a previous release,
+you MUST delete the gnutls-params file in the spool directory, because the
+older Exim will not recognize the new format.
