If we -have- to glob providers together I would prefer the alternate
solution: merge all the Exchange providers into one git module, break
GroupWise out from E-D-S into it's own git module, and leave the rest
alone.

This is not unlike the recent gnome-games debate on desktop-devel-list,
except that we already have shared libraries for the common parts with
fairly stable APIs (libebook, libecal, etc.).

Jon's comments on the gnome-games issue reflect my own for this one:
