while maildir has a clearly defined meaning of "recent" and for example
mutt handles it graciously, IMAP's definition is fubared to the point
that some servers (for example gmail) simply refuse to support it.
for symmetry reasons it is best to pretend that it doesn't exist at all.
it doesn't seem too useful anyway (the user can simply mark the messages
as read to allow pruning).
and last but not least, the man page of mbsync says nothing about
"recent", only "unread". unlike the isync man page, though.
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...
i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.
