This patch makes two changes to the exim_install script:

*) Changes the test used to determine whether a file should be installed
   to cope with files which we "touch" to zero bytes for packaging
   purposes.

*) Causes the configure file to be installed as a sample only.  The
   administrator needs to rename this file to "activate" exim.
