Looks like some distribution strip the extensions of the python commands and
some don't. Try to find the correct commands by ourself.

Make --version much less verbose and only print out the version number
to facilitate easy parsing by scripts. We don't really need the verbose
copyright output, it is show with --help anyway.

Currently the Curses code is broken. Importing offlineimap.ui.Curses
will not succeed due to cyclic imports (threadutils imports ui, but ui
wants threadutils.MultiLock). So Curses cannot be chosen.
Incidentally, the only part in the code that uses "MultiLock" is the
Curses UI, to prevent concurrent access from several threads to the
ui-internal thread list and to IO resources such as the
screen. Fortunately for these purposes we don't need a MultiLock, so we
can do away with that implementation completely. A simple RLock that
allows us to have a thread "own" a lock and makes other threads wanting
access to the resource wait until the owning thread is finished.
The MultiLock implementation looked a bit weird, so simplifying code
here is a good thing, it might well be that we fix some "hangs" that
have been reported (and that would only ever occur with the Curses UI).

This branch is currently broken, as we were using getglobalui() but it
was not imported. This fixes the missing import and makes offlineimap
run successfully.

In software engineering the releasing process is an important step. Since most
contributors are comfortable enough with the submitting patches process, it is
good time to involve everybody to the releasing one.
Introduce the Changelog file to rely on it. It is the good place to put topics
not already released.
This way, releases benefit from the review of others in the same way we do for
patches.

Such information is handled in the docs/ directory. Don't provide more than one

It's a bit surprising to start the clean process when typing "make".
Create a build process and make it the default.
This will also help not deleting something VERY important.

This is a great move to help contributors in maintaining documentation.
While doing huge changes in this area, do a bit more than simply SGML to rst:
* move README from markdown to rst
* make a "true" man page with no more information
* refactor content and sections

All invocations of -d will imply the single-threaded mode unless one of

Previously, we would spawn child threads for account synchronization
even if we had single-threading enabled. This prevented us from catching
the true location of exceptions, for example. Now, in single-threaded
mode, we perform the account synchronization truely in the main thread
which will ease our debugging.

Earlier we would ignore *ALL* Exceptions that could occur during the
fsyncing of our LocalStatus database. Ignoring all Exceptions is not the
right thing here though. A recent commit improved the situation by
raising at least KeyboardInterrupt Exceptions, but that is still not
optimal.
os.fsync() is available on Unix, and Windows starting in python
2.2.3. so it should always work. If it doesn't, something is wrong.
It has been suggested to only catch EnvironmentError (ie SystemError and
OSError) here, but even those should be thrown. Something *is* wrong if
this fails and we should not ignore it.

Previously we did not catch KeyboardInterrupts explicitly as all of the
code was executed in forked child threads which would never receive
Ctrl-c exceptions. With the upcoming single threaded modus, this code
can be run in the main thread however, so we need to take care of
KeyboardInterrupts explicitly.
This was done wherever we would catch *ALL* exceptions universally and
print out an error message.

protect against receiving a SystemExit exception which is raised e.g. in
the ui.terminate() code by calling sys.exit().
