evolution

[sams marketing-designs com]

I see the newest evolution is gnome2-ized.  Mmm . . . this looks good I
thought.  I tried to write a bunch of makefiles/checksum files to get it
up and working, but can't figure out how to make db-3.1.17 install from
the garnome script.  If anyone can figure this out I will give out the
rest of what I have to install it.  Some notes though:
evolution got out of control about 10 minutes into it's use.  99% cpu
usage.  Blasted.  Everything hung.  Probably had something to do with me
trying to use it to (god forbid) send mail.  No big deal, I know it is a
super-unstable release.
it needs to be compiled with a --without-nss (new mozilla doesn't seem
to provide it as compiled by garnome).
it needs to be compiled with the --with-db3=$pathname where pathname is
wherever you installed it ($GARPREFIX if I can get the darn Gar makefile
to do what I want).
it needs a newer libgtkhtml (I just split it into 2 directories
libgtkhtml-2 and libgtkhtml-3, which breaks other package dependencies)
it needs other dependencies that shouldn't break much of anything else.

but, it WORKS.  And it looks nice.  I haven't had a good gui mail client 
in quite a while.  Good thing mutt was always there to back me up:)  I
hope they fix this up quickly, and I wish I could give time to it.  Ah
well.
