Current SVN, on which the original packaging is based, has COPYING.LGPL2
and COPYING.LGPL3.

I've already fixed this (it's just not in my PPA yet), and corrected the
 fact that upstream is LGPL2.1 | LGPL3 rather than LGPL2+.

I had to patch configure.in to get it to build with the current version
of evolution (which works fine with evolution-mapi) and to get it to
build, because it requires a define for GNU_SOURCE (although that could
be somewhere else as well). When should I be regenerating configure in
this case if not at build-time ?

Cheers,
