This has always been included in the evolution source package.

I built this from the libsoup CVS module.

Ah, didn't know there already are gtkhtml3.0 packages, so I rolled my
own from CVS, and my gtkhtml3.0 package happens to contain that file. :)

Didn't encounter this, maybe because I used a post 1.3.1 CVS snapshot of
evolution.

Didn't encounter this either, weird.
Now the question is how to make what I have (a bunch of hacked up
packages built from CVS snapshots) public without embarassing myself too
