ACK.

Point well taken. I'm not sure who wanted to do the merging for your 
branch but I'd be very happy to do that on a regular basis every few 
days for you. I already do that for make_it_cool and might just as well 
do it with your branch. In fact I'd be most happy if people would allow 
me to do the following:
- bugfixes from HEAD merged into make_it_cool and kgroupware,
- simple bugfixes not involving architectural changes from kgroupware 
and make_it_cool back into HEAD,
- all changes from kgroupware into make_it_cool.

Two first are pretty obvious, the third one means that we'd have one 
branch with all changes accumulated in the new architecture. The third 
one would probably be knows as KMail Extremely Unstable, but would 
generate more testers for you guys and hopefully help us merge all 
branches at the end. What do you think?
