Ouch, this is very very very bad news. I know 0.22 is basically
unmaintained, but from my experience with 0.39, this will mean that
syncing with synce (Windows Mobile) will be impossible in testing. Apart
from the general problems with the python wrapper, 0.39 fails with
plugins that don't require a configuration, and there is a bizarre
g_slice error that I have yet to identify.
