The line-based parsing can be a bit awkward when wanting to peek
ahead, (say, for folded header values), but it's so convenient
to be able to trust that a string terminator exists on every
line so it cleans up the code considerably.
Looks like we can copy in a hash-table implementation, (from cairo,
say), and then a few _ascii_ functions from glib, (we'll need to
switch a few current uses if things like isspace, etc. to locale-
independent versions as well). So not too hard to free ourselves
of glib for now, (until we add GMime back in later, of course).
Since we're currently just trying to stitch together In-Reply-To
and References headers we don't need that much sophistication.
It's when we later add full-text searching that GMime will be
useful.
So for now, even though my own code here is surely very buggy
compared to GMime it's also a lot faster. And speed is what
we're after for the initial index creation.
