sylpheed updates on Fedora

[Christopher Svanefalk]

The sad thing is that any packet, even if it is an application which has a
large userbase both inside and outside Fedora, will drop dead if the
maintainer leaves (there does not seem to be a process in place for
replacing them). I was very surprised, for one, that the Netbeans IDE had
been dropped completely for Fedora 17. The framework is still there, but
the IDE is gone.
