Hmm, it seems I've been using gmime 2.6(.17 -- now updated to .20) a long
time already -- just that `make distclean` does not see that and I've
been looking that part in my build script...

Interestingly when David's changes are pushed I have to edit the distclean
part of my build to find new gmime so it can do that (distclean, that is) 
successfully ;)

IMO it is somewhat akward that `make distclean` executes `./configure`
but that is probably something no-one wants to do anything with...
