Hi Gilles,

Evolution 2.30 will introduce some major architectural changes.  Among
which is the removal of the popup hooks in favor of a new type of hook
for extending menus and toolbars which integrates with GtkUIManager.

The exchange-operations plugin you mentioned has been moved to the
evolution-exchange package.  Take a look at the <ui-manager> tags in
org-gnome-exchange-operations.eplug.xml for some examples of how to use
EPluginUI.  If you're familiar with GtkUIManager and GtkActions, it's
fairly straight-forward.

As I have not yet written any formal documentation for EPluginUI, feel
free to ask me for help if you get stuck.
