I did this a while back migrating qmail/vmailmgr/courier-IMAP to
exim. I wrote a compatibility shim in perl to provide username,
password, alias, autoresponder and quota lookups out of the various
qmail files and vmailmgr's passwd.cdb files since we didn't want
to rewrite the management system as well. Then it was a simple
matter of almost a standard exim configure file.
I can help you out with the functions, routers and transports if
there's some overlap between what you're doing and what I did.
