Without a straight answer, build a TEST environment and just try doing it.
The formats have changed but still there is a script that Philip provided
and truly speaking it some nice piece. You just do

./convert4r4 < current_configure_file > configure-v4

Then take a close look at the configure-v4 or whatever you called it.
You'll make a few changes here are there. Then you can do

path/to/exim-3.95x-binary -C configure-v4 -bV

and it will spit a few complaints if there are issues.

1. rewrite rules have to be modified..... I'll check the new docs because
I have a few of those.
2. I've not tested the filters in this TEST env.

3. Lookups are rewritten by the script and from the look of things they'll work.
I can only repond to this authoritatively after I test the SQL lookups that I
have. It means a whole replication of the databases to the TEST env.
