Hmmm let's see...  Assuming we go with GTK 2.4 (which seems likely given
the timeframe) and that eventually we want to have no GAL:

      * gtk-combo-box, gtk-combo-text, gtk-combo-stack,
        widget-color-combo, widget-pixmap-combo, color-group,
        color-palette, e-color can be replaced with the new combo box
        stuff in GTK 2.4.

      * e-categories-* shouldn't really need to be in GAL, they should
        be moved to Evolution.  They should stay since they are used all
        over the place for category management and we are not planning
        to change that.

      * e-cursor I am not sure.  Is there something in GTK 2 that we
        need to replace this with?

      * e-font should be removed.  It's not used anymore.

      * e-gui-utils should probably be moved to Evolution.

      * e-scroll-frame, e-vscrollbar, e-hscrollbar can all be nuked.

      * e-option-menu should probably stay and be moved to Evolution
        (since the GtkOptionMenu API still sucks, and I don't think it's
        going to be fixed in GTK 2.4).

      * e-popup-menu should probably stay and be moved to Evolution.

      * e-printable is not used anywhere as far as I can tell.

      * e-reflow* is used by the minicard view so we are going to need
        it for a while.  (However, I'd personally like to get rid of the
        minicard view too, so we'll see.  :-))

      * e-selection-model needs to stay.

      * e-unicode can be nuked.

Am I missing anything?

Mike, maybe you could start doing some of these cleanups for HEAD? 
(Before we move this stuff into Evolution we probably need to fix up the
directory structure in Evo itself too...)
