[SA-exim] How to apply localscan_dlopen.patch ?

[Jonathan Vanasco]

Much thanks.. Actually I do know quite a bit -- i've just never patched 
anything before and the docs are utterly confusing.

I managed to get the exim rebuid with local_scan.c replacement working 
earlier today, so am just going to stay with that.

Thanks for all your help though -- this is GREATLY more informative 
than the build instructions in the documents.

If you dont mind me suggesting this, perhaps your reply to me should 
replace the release docs?  Its more than fairly dumbed down -- but the 
bulk of the info there -- dual directories,  make/patch orders, etc 
aren't really discussed in the INSTALL instructions.
