I tried to use this library this spring and is was quite terrible experience,
like maze of segfaults all different. Parsers (both sieve and mail) were too
fragile, long mail headers could easily eat all your core, memory corruptions
here and there and constantly changing API ugly as all hell. After two months
of horror i migrated to libsieve from GNU mailutils.

I don't know how many of these problems are fixed now... IMHO some of them
were simply by design.

The only good thing about this pile of crap^H^H^Hode is that I learned how
to use valgrind :)

Best regards.
