Mea culpa. Sylpheed was in Core and I wanted gpgme-1.0 in Core so I patched
it to use the newer gpgme and it was accepted upstream. Now sylpheed's out
and we still don't have gpgme-1.0 in Core. (kmail uses it...)

claws and sylpeed are a little further apart than branches, a bit closer
than an actual fork. Someone might find it worthwhile to package each one
separately. Right now, I don't think anyone's picked up the main sylpheed.
If someone does, I think the right thing to do is rename files in
sylpheed-claws to not conflict.
