Feature Request: Augmenting `stunnel' 4 Configuration File

I'm in the process of upgrading my desktop machine, and along with that comes
`stunnel' version 4, which uses a configuration file rather than command line
options.  (What a PITA!)

Previously, with VM 7.07 and `stunnel' 3, I set the following command line
options:

	;; By default, `stunnel' logs many uninteresting messages to the
	;; `syslog' facility.  Shut up!
	(setq vm-stunnel-program-switches (list "-D0" "-o" "/dev/null"))

These no longer work with `stunnel' version 4; to get the equivalent effect, I
need to add the following lines to the generated configuration file:

	debug = 0
	output = /dev/null

Unfortunately, VM 7.18 doesn't have any user options for inserting extra stuff
into the configuration file that it generates.  So, there's my feature request:
a variable `vm-stunnel-program-config' or somesuch.

It would also be useful if the variable `vm-stunnel-program-switches' were
consulted only for `stunnel' version 3, since AFAIK, version 4 has no switches
of interest.  This would make it somewhat easier to set up a `.vm' that works
with both versions of `stunnel'.

Of course, the variable documentation strings and the user manual should be
updated to reflect when the different `stunnel' configuration variables are
used.

Thanks ---

Eric.
