+Evolution Data Server manages access to the calendar, tasks and
+addressbook information available for Evolution and other applications.
+
+It is a CORBA component which, when activated, allows concurrent access
+by several client applications to the same data, adding to that
+notifications of changes, which are signalled to all clients.
+
+Its extensible architecture, allows the addition of plugins to manage
+different kinds of calendar/tasks/addressbook sources, by just writing
+a shared library, which will be loaded by evolution-data-server on
+startup.
+
+Below variables can be used to configure the build:
+ INTROSPECTION=no : Enable GObject introspection
+ the dependecies must be compiled with
+ introspection or the build will fail.
+ VALA=no : Generate VALA bindings
+ Requires INTROSPECTION=YES
+ GTKDOC=yes : Use gtk-doc to build documentation
+ TESTS=yes : Enable installed tests
+ GCOV=yes : Enable build with GCOV code coverage
+ Requires gcov
