-----------------------------------------------------------
Wait, so, on licensing can we include a wrapper for either libpst or libpff
because libpst is GPL 2 and libpff is GPL 3
(https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html)?
[~nick] is the answer obvious or should I open a ticket on LEGAL?

> We currently use the com.pff Java-based PST parser for PST files. It would be
> useful to add a wrapper for libpst as an optional parser.
> One of the benefits of libpst is that it creates .eml or .msg files from the
> PST records. This is critical for those who want the original bytes from
> embedded files. Obv, PST doesn't store eml or msg, but some users want the
> "original" emails even if they are constructed from PST records.
