Don't assume people here have any idea what "pkgsrc" is.

Both em-folder-browser.c and mail-vfolder.c define the non-static
global variable vfolder_store. This is perfectly legal in C as long as
both don't define an initial value for it (neither does). Although I
guess one could argue, that as what is being linked from the object
files here is a shared library and not a "normal" executable, we are
in implementation-defined territory. Anyway, clearly it would be
better and cleaner if one of the definitions was changed into an
extern declaration instead.
