It's implemented in Subversion. There's one reference count wrong which
will be fixed tomorrow.

Check tny-summary-window.c if you'd like to know how to use it (don't do
the extra g_object_unref on the model, I added that unref for testing
purposes (there's an extra yet unknown ref on the model, which I will
fix tomorrow).

You can still launch the uncache method on the folder type, but that one
will no longer perform the uncaching or removal of header instances. The
uncache method will still clearup memory (if the implementation uses
memory, which in case of the libtinymail-camel implementation, it does).

The removal of header instances happens upon switching the model of the
GtkTreeView (as the original model is unreferences once, it will
destruct itself -- the finalize takes care of destructing the header
instances).
