You mean "You should get libsoup", right?  I grabbed libsoup and got the
proper soup-2.0.pc file.  Compiled and installed.  Cool.

That makes sense.  Right now the Evolution 1.2 version of the .oaf files
are in /usr/share/oaf, and the 1.3 in /usr/local/share/oaf.  I'll try
setting these variables in my startup script.  I'll report results.  The
only other way I can think of getting around that is to install the new
evolution in /usr so the .oaf files are in /usr/share.
