Important note for Camel hackers:
---------------------------------

Camel has been a lot of work, and has been conceived to be general
enough to be used outside the gnome-mailer. It is possible in the
future that it is used in softwares with licenses incompatible with the
LGPL. For this reason, the copyright has to be owned by a unique
person.  Be sure, however, that Camel will always be available under
the LGPL.  Significant authors will always be consulted before any
special use of Camel. Moreover, in special situations, they may be
given the authorization to use Camel with a license different than the
LGPL.

Thus, when adding code in Camel, always add the following lines at the
begining of the file:
