It probably would work in practice, but I would have to make assumptions
about which versions contain this new feature. As Chris Lord pointed
out, eds-dbus might pick up the patch and then offer it under a
different version. As of last weekend, SyncEvolution can synchronize
calendars on Maemo with EDS-DBus, so I care about that. Making it work
with that were part of the reason for changing SyncEvolution.

Even if you add versioning information to 2.22.x, I still would have to
depend on dlsym() tricks to work with older releases.
