At least some of these files are there in the familiar I installed when it
was first released. As far as I can tell, a7r (at least I think it's him)
has, quite correctly, implemented the back-end of a PIM suite by putting in
place the object definitions and handling for common PIM objects (contacts,
tasks, scheduling), but has, so far, only written a front-end for contacts -
and that front-end is mingle.

If nothing else, this is going to make my Palm->mingle import util much
easier, as I can just take the object handling code from mingle and connect
it to a 'Palm import' front-end rather than a 'GTK GUI' front-end - the
front-ends both want to be able to create contact objects, afterall. I
should have a testable version of my util available this week, by the way...
