ebuild for mail-notification 5.2

Here's an ebuild I whipped up for mail-notification-5.2, it has a completely
new, nonstandard, build system so the ebuild needed quite a bit of work (had to
try to replicate the functionality of gnome2_src_install without using
gnome2_src_install. I also added a USE flag for "mh" mailboxes, and arranged
the USE flags in alphabetical order.

slightly simplified ebuild for mail-notification-5.2

This is just a slight simplification to the ebuild.

mail-notification-5.2 ebuild that disabled hotmail support

I just noticed that the default build settings enable hotmail support, which
depends on a package called "getlive" which is not in portage. This will
explicitly disable hotmail support.

Patrick, thanks for the great starting point for the 5.2 ebuild. I've now added
mail-notification-5.2 to CVS. In the version I've put in CVS I've also updated
the dependencies to the updated requirements, and I've added a patch to avoid
an access violation due to gtk+ cache rebuilding.

I've also left out the hotmail change. Given that we don't have this getlive
tool in portage I'd rather just leave this enabled in case people have
installed this tool themselves. I guess an alternative could be to enable it
with a USE flag and explain that getlive is needed if people enable this flag.

Pacho, thanks of the initial bug report.
