I believe you are referring to the conversation in 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/tinymail-devel-list/2006-April/msg00002.html

Its been a few months after that and the mail does indicate that we 
could indeed package a CVS snapshot or something atleast for 
extras-devel. We dont have to care about API compatibility at this stage.
