Progress update:

  - Tighter integration of GalViewInstance and EShellView.

  - EBinding.  Stolen from ExoBinding.  Lets you bind GObject properties
    together to automatically keep their values in sync.  This is a godsend.
    Added to e-util, but might even deserve a place in libedataserver.

  - EShellSettings.  This is the concept I blogged about.  Already
    started ripping apart em-mailer-prefs.c.  Others to follow.  Any
    place where we're monitoring GConf keys is a target.

  - Incremental progress on the calender and mailer.  Got EMFolderView
    somewhat working, but I think I'll be killing off EMFolderBrowser.
