[Evolution] compiling from SVN tutorial - now with more MAPI!

[Gibro Vacco <gibrovacco gmail com>]

In my office some skilled IT manager just decided to upgrade the old (read: obsoleted as by design) Exchange 2003 server with a brand new Exchange 2007. The result is that my loved Evolution ceased to work with the Exchange plugin: it was possible to use ONLY IMAP (no calendar, addressbook configurable through some weird LDAP try-and-then-retry-again, etc. etc.).

Being put at the corner between the choice of using a web interface or no more accessing to my calendar I decided the third way: trying evolution with the MAPI protocol.

When I found this the process became quite trivial on intrepid (thanks Thomas). BTW I found some minor problems in resolviong dependencies and compilations tricks, so I updated the SVN tutorial for working with MAPI (I think many people had -and will have- my same problems).

On monday I'll try if all the stuff (calendar, addressbook and, of course, emails) works and, if necessary, I'll post some other comments.

Many thanks to the community!
