New libmimedir and new GPE for Maemo build

Hi Graham,
	I'm trying out your packages, mostly because you seem to have the only
copy of gpesyncd left :-) So it would seem I'm your test subject. I've
added your repository to my aplication manager but I'm having a problem
installing your libopensync-plugin-syncml v0.20+svn20061128-1. The
application manager is telling me it unable to install it because it's
missing the package libsoup2.2-8>=2.2.98. I do have libsoup2.2
v0svn20070317maemo installed from your repository. The aplication
manager won't let me install libsoup2.2-8 v2.2.93-1 from Florian's
repository. Should I force the install from the CLI, and if so what
commands would I use? I'm assuming I should avoid mixing these versions,
but can I install the GPE time tracker  from Florians repo to work with
your GPE todo? 
	I've been eagerly following your work because I want to sync with
Evolution. It's come more to the front for me because I will soon have
to transfer all the data from a 770 to an 800. I of course would very
much like a GUI but the proof of concept you speak of is very
encouraging. Thanks very much for your time and best regards.

Ah, yes.  I need to rebuild the opensync packages against the new GPE 
libraries.  I have not got around to that because I have been working on 
other problems (I am still seeing a problem synchronising with remote 
opensync at the moment).  And, I will admit, because I thought no one else 
was using them and have been too lazy!

I will try to build new opensync packages using the recent opensync release.  
I don't think I will be able to get to this until the weekend, however.

If you really want to try this out before I create new packages you could try 
fetching the packages by hand and using dpkg --force-depends 
(or --force-depends-version if that works).  But I don't recommend it.
