It seems no very recent system has gmime2.4. I guess several of these
gmime2.4 only code paths are both security critical (e.g. in crypto.c)
and mostly untested.
Is there good reason to keep supporting gmime 2.4?

if there are potential security issues that we do not test (i.e. I do not
test), then removing (instead of just deprecating) is a good option --
I'll just have to install gmime-2.6 on my Scientific Linux 6.2 system...

gmime 2.6 is available in squeeze-backports, which is about as old as
anyone can reasonably expect to run an end-user system these days in my
book. I have no objection to dropping gmime 2.4 support.
