My apologies - I overlooked this point. Unfortunately we were maintaining our 
packages separately from the version that you imported (indeed, we missed the 
fact that you imported our code), so at the time of the CVS reorganisation 
there were two differing versions of these packages.

We thought it best to integrate our existing code, as it had changed 
drastically from the version you imported, so many of the fixes you made were 
not necessary, or no longer apply.

Re-check out the code now - with the changes I made today it should run (at 
least, it was running for me). Just do another './devtool copyrelfiles' 
then ./kolabd should work.

Did you modify kolab_bootstrap? We never touched this file, so if you want we 
can use your modified one in the new code.

This will change tomorrow. I broke it, so I will fix it. Please raise any 
other issues that you have now, to avoid me messing it up CVS yet again.
