 The only change in the source package this requires is
 a configure option.  As far as I can see this just enables a
 whole bunch of new functions and adds an application to work
 with CMS documents.  So it's atleast going to require an shlib
 bump.
 
I think it's too late for that.

It seems that outlook 2010 is using this and this option needs to
be turned on read such documents.
