No problem - it has been fun to hack on GMime again :)

Building Xamarin.iOS/Mac takes a while because it cross-compiles the 
Mono runtime for multiple architectures as well as the .NET framework, 
the binding libraries, and the command-line tools (as well as my MSBuild 
code).

I wasn't talking about GMime taking an hour to compile :)

GMime only takes 2 or 3 minutes at most and most of that is the 
configure script...
