Hi Zing, and thanks for contributing.  (I speak only for myself. I'm just
a pan fan and not any part of the pan project.)

I've read various man pages and tutorials about the gnu autotools and
every time I quit in the middle because of migraine or nausea ;) but
IIUC the changes above would break the build on my distribution, which
uses gmime-2.4.

The patches raise the minimum acceptable version of gmime to 2.5, am
I wrong about this?  Again, IIUC, my gmime-2.4 would flunk the test,
right?  Or wrong?

Thanks for your time!
