It just doesn't belong in Evolution anymore. We don't support syncing
with more modern devices -- see Conduits or SyncEvolution for that -- so
it does not make sense for older model Palm Pilot PDAs to be the lone
exception.
I have repackaged the Evolution-Data-Server conduit modules to be
provided by gnome-pilot itself in bug #619315. This should provide
eqivalent Palm Pilot syncing functionality; it's just being moved to
gnome-pilot.
This completely severs our dependency on deprecated GNOME 2.x libraries
which were still being dragged in by way of gnome-pilot dependencies.
It was also interfereing with our bundling of libgnomecanvas.
