Not anymore actually.
sa-exim-3.0 will build without exim, it includes the exim headers it needs

That's why I updated the dlopen patch to have an API version number

Not quite.
See http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/sa-exim-current/Makefile

EXIM_SRC= ../../src
EXIM_SRC_LOCAL = ./eximinc
BUILDCFLAGS=-I$(EXIM_SRC) -I$(EXIM_SRC_LOCAL)

It allows you to provide your own exim headers by doing the right thing,
or sa-exim 3.0 will fall back to its own exim 4.14 headers.

Right. That's missing from the patch, I'll need to fix that.
