yes, but libdkim isn't. The docs refer to 
<http://duncanthrax.net/exim-experimental/libdkim-1.0.15-tk.tar.gz> two 
more recent versions are available there, but not easily discoverable, and 
I don't see documentation about that fact.

Tom said about 4.70 that the DKIM implementation is stand-alone (library 
included in Exim bundle, no additional dependencies), and the new library 
supports some non-POSIX platforms like Windows (I know). On the other hand, 
support for domainkeys is dropped - not that I think that's a great loss.
