evolution-2.2.0 and gnome-2.8

With nhudson being absent from ll.org and the gnome effort, the
latest gnome-2.8 and evolution-2.2.0 is turning into a terrible mess in
moonbase.

Modules likes, gtkhtml, gtkthml2, gtkhtml3, gtkhtml32, gtkhtml34, gtkhtml36,
libsoup22, gal, gal2, gal24. evolution-beta, evolution-data-server-beta all 
need to be pruned and/or cleaned up.

Also evolution-2.2.0 requires more gnome-2.8 modules like:

libgnomeprint-2.8.2, libgnomeprintui-2.8.2, libgnomeui-2.8.1, gtkhtml36

which in turn require most all of the rest of gnome-2.8.

Unless someone has a better solution, I'll be doing a massive gnome-2.8 update 
to the moonbase to get it ready for evolution-2.2.0.  I'll try to update
as much of gnome2.8 as possible, but I do not use the Gnome desktop!

I am a xfce4 user and I do gnucash, gimp, gaim, gnumeric, and abiword,
(evolution is installed for testing purposes) so I do have quite a few gnome
apps that I can use to test all my planned moonbase updates.
