Ups. I missed something in my explaination, I want the loadable module
option, But if you are going to make a rpm or a debian dbs-type of
package you want a single tar.gz file one or more patches.

So I could just make a diff/patch of the local_scan replacement, but I
want to include the dlopenpatch and a patch that inserts the two new
source files (dummy and sa-exim.so) and modifes the buildprocess to
include sa-exim when you build exim.

This is very simple inside my head, but somewhat hard to write down in
english.
