You don't patch the Exim core code; you simply replace local_scan.c with
the local_scan.c from SA-Exim.

There are two ways to use SA-Exim:

- just replace local_scan.c and build

- use the dlopen patch (where local_scan modules can be dynamically
loaded). This requires you patch the core of Exim with the dlopen patch
*and* build SA-Exim.

All I can tell you is that the first way works without problems on Exim
4.30, and should do on any subsequent release as long as the local_scan
interface doesn't change.
