Getting rid of our Horde copy is a larger task than I have time for 
currently, sorry. But we can of course talk about how to do it. But 
please keep in mind that I have been wanting to get 2.1 out for a long 
time, and to avoid postponing that indefinetely we shoulnd't tinker too 
much with the code right now.

Do we have any Horde people lurking here?

And re the html fbview package: This has larger dependencies on Horde 
than the resmgr stuff and I have the feeling that parts of the 
Horde-code has even been hacked to suit that particular purpose (ie. 
changes that for good reason wont make sense upstream). If I could 
choose, I would want to see fbview removed from Kolab and have similar 
functionality added to the Horde webclient instead.
