+Two things are built in this directory: the shell's executable, named
+`evolution', and the shell utility library, `libeshell'.
+
+The `e-*' files belong to the shell, and their API is not exported at
+all.
+
+The `evolution-*' files, instead, are Bonobo-style wrappers for the
+shell's Evolution:: CORBA interfaces. They are all compiled into
+`libeshell'; the shell itself links against `libeshell'.
+
+The `evolution-*-client' files are utility GTK+-style wrappers for the
+CORBA methods; the modules whose name does not end with `-client',
+instead, are Bonobo-like GTK+ objects wrapping the implementation of
+the CORBA server.
