Of course.

That's fast enough. Well, what is fast enough is simply before a first
release. You and me will that the decision to do that first release

A on-770-maemo non-compiling libtinymail-maemo will simply mean my veto
against any release.

I don't think we need to revert patches. I'd rather solve it correctly
then (would take an equal amount of time anyway, because it's not that
difficult to make the new implementation optional).

Can we get around this bug so that tinymail's build is easy for software
developers? For example a little script that does this for them?
Documentation about it?
