Removed e-card-pairs.h since we're not using it.

2001-05-08  Christopher James Lahey  <clahey@ximian.com>

	* backend/ebook/Makefile.am (libebookinclude_HEADERS): Removed
	e-card-pairs.h since we're not using it.

	* backend/ebook/e-book-view.c (e_book_view_check_listener_queue):
	Added break; to default: case here.

	* backend/ebook/e-card-simple.c, backend/ebook/e-card-simple.h:
	Added changed variable so as to avoid sync_card when possible.
	(e_card_simple_destroy): Free all the data here properly.
	(e_card_simple_get_arg): Slight simplification here.
	(fill_in_info, e_card_simple_arbitrary_foreach,
	e_card_simple_get_arbitrary): Call e_card_free_empty_lists here to
	save a bit of memory.

	* backend/ebook/e-card.c, backend/ebook/e-card.h: Fixed up
	includes a bit.
	(e_card_list_get_vcard, e_card_list_send): Added these functions
	for acting on a group of cards.
	(parse_org): Cleaned up this function a bit.
	(e_card_free_empty_lists): Added this function to delete
	unnecessary ELists and save a bit of memory.
	(e_v_object_get_child_value): Made this return NULL if not found
	instead of g_strdup("").

	* contact-editor/e-contact-save-as.c,
	contact-editor/e-contact-save-as.h (e_contact_list_save_as): Added
	this function to save multiple contacts.

	* gui/widgets/Makefile.am: Commented out reflow test.
	(libeminicard_a_SOURCES): Added e-minicard-view-model.c and
	e-minicard-view-model.h.

	* gui/widgets/e-minicard-view-model.c,
	gui/widgets/e-minicard-view-model.h: Model for use in
	EMinicardView.

	* gui/widgets/e-minicard-view.c, gui/widgets/e-minicard-view.h:
	Reworked this to use the new EReflow stuff.

	* gui/widgets/e-minicard.c (e_minicard_event): Doesn't handle
	right click menus now.  Emits a signal on the parent canvas item
	instead.

	* printing/e-contact-print-envelope.c,
	printing/e-contact-print-envelope.h
	(e_contact_print_envelope_list_dialog_new): Added this function to
	print multiple envelopes (only prints first for now.)

	* printing/e-contact-print.c, printing/e-contact-print.h
	(e_contact_print_card_list_dialog_new): Added this function to
	print multiple cards.  Only prints the first for now.
