Thanks Patrick!  I hope to be able to spend some time on this again next
month: the project I've been underwater with for the last 8 months or so
should release in the next few weeks.

lookOut! is driving me batty, so I'll be happy if I can get a relatively
stable Evo that can talk to my Exchange 2007 server (must have GAL and
calendar support tho).

I think I'm going to have to add rules for building the latest MAPI
library stuff as well... I'll keep it optional for you folks with sane
IT departments :-).
