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.

It's a bit surprising to start the clean process when typing "make".
Create a build process and make it the default.

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

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.

the ui.terminate() code by calling sys.exit().

The ui.detector class was not really needed and leads to the illusion
that we provide GUI plugins. For the sake of code maintainability we
don't :-).
Rather than having GUI names equivalent to the classes they are in
(which leads to weird names like TTY.TTYUI), this patch allows to give
each GUI an arbitrary string name. GUI names remain still unchanged in
this patch, the default UI when none was configured is TTY.TTYUI.

Rather than regetting the ui with UIBase.getglobalui() all the time, we get it once in the base class and let all derivative classes just make use of self.ui rather than refetching the ui all the time, this makes for a bit less code and shorter lines.

Move central constant definitions into __init__.py. This does away
with version.py which contained nothing else and __init__.py is where
things like __VERSION__ are usually defined.
This commit also changes code to use offlineimap.__version__ rather
than offlineimap.version.__version__ as was before. Cleaned up some
duplicate or unneeded imports while touching those, formatting import
statements per PEP8 (one import per row).

Previously, we did not check at all the authenticy and validity of
the SSL server we connected to. This is bad as it allows
man-in-the-middle attacks etc. This patch remedies the situation
somewhat.
If we specify a sslcacertfile= setting in the Repository section,
validate the server cert (on python>=2.6 or abort with python<=2.5).
As before, no certificate check is performed without that option.
In the future, the hostname check should be made optional and also
a mutt-lick "accept this certificate forever" thing should be
implemented.

Move the command line option handling from the more manual "getopts"
module to the full fledged "OptionParser". It has the advantage of
e.g. automatically creating the Help text that is shown with the
"-h/--help" option rather than having to hardcode the text and
format the line breaking manually.
Also, do away with the version check when invoking OfflineImap so we
do not have to change the version number in three places when bumping
it.
Rename startup() to run() which sounds more in line what other modules
call their run functions (e.g. Thread.run()).

Previoiusly, we would just bomb out with a KeyError("Foo") if a user

Maildir to a Maildir. Still abort with an Exception now, but with one
that explains what actually had happened.

FYI: not sure if you all saw it or changed it, but there were three
places I always changed for each new release:
offlineimap.py
bin/offlineimap
offlineimap/version.py
in particular, the value in version.py must match the value in the
offlineimap(.py) file that someone uses to start the thing up.
