On a related note: Previously I asked about the external-editor plugin and was simply told it was part of 
'experimental plugins', which google revealed simply to be a Debian/Ubuntu package. Prompted by this 
conversation, I continued searching I found out that all these experimental plugins are simply part of the 
evolution source itself.

I'm currently typing in vim using external editor (Evo 2.32.1), having modified my distro's evolution package 
to compile that as well.

So a quick question, would it be possible to compile the experimental plugins without having to ./configure 
-> make evolution itself? This would allow me to package them separately instead of having to package an 
entire evolution-with-plugins package which basically duplicates my distro's package.
