This relicensing is possible despite the Funambol Contributor
Agreement (included as 'doc/Sync4jContribution.pdf') under which the
0.7 release was contributed to Funambol because among the broad range
of rights granted back by that agreement is the right to sublicense.
Furthermore, Patrick Ohly is still the copyright holder because
that moral right is not transferable in Germany.
The source was always meant to be GPL v2 or later, but wasn't marked
consistently as such. Copyright belongs to Patrick Ohly, with all
code up to 0.7 also owned by Funambol due to a copyright transfer
at that time.

This change makes it possible to add a new backend without
changing any of the core files. It also gets rid of some
hacks (like -export-dynamic for the binary) by putting all
core SyncEvolution code into a library.
The transition is not quite complete: there are still
some lists of existing backends, which will be removed
soon. EvolutionSmartPtr.h and EvolutionSyncSource depend
on Evolution/GNOME libs, which forces all backends to
use the right -I flags.
