Somebody has done the work at least for 4.69, don't know how this
patch applies to 4.71. This is from my home built rpm of exim-4.69:

CentOS53[root@ivwm51 ~]# vdir /usr/lib64/exim/4.69-7.5iv/lookups/
total 28
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4240 Aug 20 18:07 dkim.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9072 Aug 20 18:07 mysql.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5680 Aug 20 18:07 spf.so

The patch to make this work is not insignificant though.  It seems to
touch a lot of stuff.
