Evolution is installed on dig-dug (the test cluster Linux box).
dig-dug is currently being a standard Red Hat/Helix Code linux box,
cause that makes building things on it to test not painful.

You can run it as /usr/local/bin/evolution. There isn't much there
right now, though in theory this is because developer resources have
been allocated to the backend and this will be changing. I don't think
there is much benefit from playing with it right now.

The machine has the zone root password, and is running sshd. People
can feel free to go to the console and give themselves a local
account, or send me mail and I can create you one.

I checked nautilus out of CVS, but it looks like much pain would be
involved in building it. If it is anything like Evolution it isn't
worth my time to get it built right now. I may kick it a bit in my
copious free time, but unless someone speaks up don't expect to see it
any time soon.

As for getting Evolution building into the locker, I don't think that
is worth the trouble right now. The Irix build is about a hundred
times more important, for instance.
