No.

It appears to be under a BSD-ish with-advertising license. Although the
changes are simple, it would be polite to drop a note to the author,
asking if it's okay to pull his changes into the GPL'd Exim (and then we
add to the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file).

Compile-time would be a last resort, IMO. rspam is nice, slightly nicer
is a protocol variant option. Either spamd_options in the main config
section, to go with spamd_address, or a /modifier for the spam ACL
condition, much like the /modifiers on malware checks, etc.
"variant=rspam"? Or just "rspam"?
I leave the decision on syntax to those doing the work.
