You dont need all of gnome libs for evolution to run. The release 
was of pre-compiled libraries, the icons probably needed the variable
XDG_DATA_DIRS to be set properly. 

The exchange plugin missing is a bug. I screwed up the release somehow
psankar novell com is fixing it apparently.

Hmmmm... I just used the same README as in evolution 2.4. I will fix
this right away.

Its not too hard if you have a load of patches which i have used locally
and havent been upstreamed due to various reasons. Sankar since this 
is before freezes and heart breaks, probably a good time to push those
patches.
