Let's do this in the usual manner:

0. Polish the patch in the usual way:  make sure it follows the
indentation and naming conventions of the surrounding code, etc.

1. Branch evolution-data-server into HEAD (development, with Philip's
patch), and the stable branch (without the patch).

2. Make the patch *mandatory* in HEAD, so that it gets a good amount of
testing.

3. ???

4. Profit!!!

I'd suggest that (3) become "write a good stress-test suite for Camel,
independent of Evolution".  We need that anyway.

Novell already has a bunch of LDTP stuff to test the Evo mailer from the
user's viewpooint - run those tests on the patched version to see how
well they work.  [Varadhan, those tests are already part of our QA
process, aren't they?]
