In the past I couldn't.
FYI, with Arch Linux building evolution from source is very easy, and doesn't require rebuilding GNOME or any runtime gymnastics. This was a design goal of the package management system, but also it's helped by Arch's rolling-release model, which means libraries are kept up-to-date. I wouldn't want to try to build evolution 3.12 on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system, or an Arch system that hadn't been updated in years either.
