By all means - but the current trunk is really a mess.
If you don't want to use my version as base for improvements - I will recommend 
to revert to the state of before Dave's mega patch -and take it from there.

If mcrypt is installed and set to "true" - the db-name/db-user/db-password is 
encrypted. Making it more secure.

This ones fixes all the problems induced by the previous mega-patch :)
Also - it is tested - and runs in a production environment.

It stops the process of trying to connect to the wrongly configured 
pop/imap-server when loading the menu.
The email app is a weak spot...

Another coming feature (in a few weeks) is general support for jasper reports

To make it easy to test - I have uploaded this version to:
http://www.byggeplass.bergen.no/download/phpggroupware_17524_nov_21.tar.gz

Keep in mind that you need pdo - and I recommend PostgreSQL 8.3 and above.

Install all apps and try it:)
