thanks to the great work done by Oleg, Mime4J is much better and has
quite a lot more classes. a release should be really close now. so,
it's a good time to review packaging. i think the packages below need
some thought.

i think that the packaging strategy has become inconsistent. i think
that the choice is either to move lots of utility-ish classes out from
mime4j and into sub-packages, or to remove the decoder and util
subpackages and move their contents into mime4j.

i can see arguments either way. lots of classes in a single package is
less expressive. but libraries can benefit from flat packaging. flat
packaging can also be an advantage for OSGI.

opinions?

I only checked the sources for cyclic dependencies between packages and somewhere 7 new cycles have been introduced.

The last time I fixed this the root package (org.apache.james.mime4j) only depended on decoder and util packages, with decoder depending on util too).

I think the first thing is to remove cycles.

(i favour collapsing but there may well be good reasons to take the
other approach)
