I want to avoid that too. It probably makes it harder for distributions
that might need to ship different versions of the same library if other
software also depends on libmapi.
How old is the current "particular version"/svn revision?

How much work/code changes would it require to depend on 0.8?
Is this feasible for the 2.26 API freeze at January 12th?

I'd really like to find a suitable solution for 2.26 because missing
support for Exchange 2007 is quite a sales blocker currently.
