The DBus port simply replaces the CORBA IPC in the calendar and
addressbook with DBus.

e-d-s is totally stand-alone from Evolution at the moment, and doesn't
depend on Evolution for any of it's functionality.  The mail APIs are
low-level though and don't handle receiving etc, but I believe that is
part of the plan for the next release.
