I've been fixing this recently. It seems to be finally working, but it
could still use some optimizations and it seems the thread tree is
rebuilt unnecessarily sometimes. Also stress testing sometimes gives
"next_iter loops" error which I haven't tried to track down yet.

THREAD X-REFERENCES2 works now. The code is also now in a state that
adding SEARCH INTHREAD support shouldn't be too difficult.

Nothing changed, but I just started thinking that the incremental change
tracking probably belongs to lib-storage code. Then it would be quite
easy to add support for SEARCH=CONTEXT
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cridland-imap-context-05).

Now if I could only get v1.1.0 out I could start merging these different
branches to v1.2 tree. :)
