Its in playground. A few people have asked for assistance, I provided some 
patches to get it compiling again, but there hasn't been a lot of time from 
anyone to work on it. So its probably at least a bit bit-rotted.

The exchange RPC protocol is pretty "chatty", and there are a few things that 
could make a lot of difference to the user experience. I think we really need 
to support Incremental Change Synchronization (ICS, aka "cached mode") in 
openchange to make it better for everyone.

Once we have that, and the ability to pack remote operations (which will also 
reduce the number of round trips), I'm planning to do some more work on it. 
How long that takes depends on my day job.
