	and we need to put the xml-rpc patch in libsoup before the
freeze, that is .... before Monday... go go go! :)

	also for the record I tried Federico's code for invoking
evolution mail composer via bonobo/corba and some changes needed to be
made:
	* You need to use bonobo activation.
	* You always need a shell before the mail componenet:

 factory = bonobo_activation_activate_from_id ("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_Factory:1.5", 0, NULL, NULL);
 shell = bonobo_activation_activate_from_id ("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Shell:1.5", 0, NULL, NULL);

	and finally it doesn't work :). It fails to work as an individual componenet at
GNOME_Evolution_Composer_setBody because some camel mutex are not
correctly initializated.
