And still, Philip is right, building a useable configure for exim isn't
that easy. I'm currently working on it, and it's a quite tough bit of work.

FYI, I've a working dynamic-loader patch for exim, it does not support
all extensions yet, and is not really configureable (I'm trying to
implement this in my configure script). But it works and I think this is
a better approach than the current exim-light vs. exim-heavy approach
debian is currently using, or the way some rpms go, by building
seperated binaries for every feature.
