It would be quite nice if Evolution would intentionally limit itself to the support libraries available in the current versions of Fedora, Ubuntu and Suse. Last time I tried to compile development Evolution I ended up building all of Gnome. I may as well have been using Gentoo. Sure, I know the pain. I personally have to develop software using only particular old versions of Boost and never use any C++11 features. In fact I have to stay compatible with G++ 4.1. So I feel sympathy but it is still better for Evolution end users and outsiders who want to hack on the code.
