        * src/maemo/modest-main-window.c: (on_account_update):
        Very slight cleanup, hoping to make it simpler to discover what causes 
        a crash here sometimes.

+# This is a ackish script to build tinymail/modest packages.
+#
+# It must be run *outside* scratchbox. You need to make sure that
+# the paths below are valid both inside and outside scratchbox.
+# You can use symlinks to do so.
+# You must also create the packages/ directory inside the src/ directory.
+# You will probably also need to correct the SCRATCHBOX variable.

-# change these to the actual paths to these packages
+# Change these to the actual paths to source code of these packages,
+# in scratchbox.
+# Use a symlink to create the same path outside of scratchbox. For instance:
+#  ln -s /scratchbox/users/murrayc/home/murrayc/src /home/murrayc/src
+#
+# You probably don't have your modest and tinymail packages at the same level, 
+# as required by this script, so you may want to create some symlinks inside 
+# src/, such as:
+#  ln -s /scratchbox/users/murrayc/home/murrayc/svn/modest-private/modest-email /home/murrayc/src/modest-email
+#  ln -s /scratchbox/users/murrayc/home/murrayc/svn/ /home/murrayc/src/tinymail
+#
+# On Maemo, you will also need to make some changes to tinymail's debian files:
+# In tinymail/debian
+# you should:
+#  cp control.maemo control
+#  cp rules.maemo rules
+# (I think the script should instead just do this on every run. murrayc)
