It's been in the wishlist for quite some time. Doesn't that imply that a
request for it to be included some time has been made? The patch itself is at
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/sa-exim-current/localscan_dlopen_exim_4.20_or_better.patch
and the patch used by Debian is identical except that it doesn't add -ldl to
LFLAGS.
