+ Horde_ActiveSync

Add !ActiveSync support to Horde for allowing Horde to sync with  
mobile devices using the mobile device's support for Microsoft  
Exchange/!ActiveSync. Use Z-Push library  
(http://z-push.sourceforge.net) for handling !ActiveSync protocol  
communication.

++ Description

Integrate the Z-Push library into Horde. Provide the ability for Horde  
to provide over the air synchronization of email, contacts, and  
calendar data to devices such as the iPhone/iPod Touch, Android and  
any other system supporting ActiveSync.

Rough outline of integration plan:

# Using out of the box Z-Push install and the "diff" backend,  
implement a basic driver for sync'ing email, contacts and calendar  
info. Currently, IMAP "push" email is working. Don't spend a lot of  
time making this driver perfect, it's basically a proof of concept /  
prototype.

# Identify code within Z-Push that can be replaced with Horde  
libraries. For example, mime handling, IMAP server communication,  
WBXML document creation/parsing.  Much of the supporting z-push code  
could be replaced by using the appropriate H4 library.

# Z-Push needs to be PHP5-ified.

# Refactor Z-Push into a Horde_ActiveSync library, and provide an  
endpoint for accessing it. Endpoint probably integrated into existing  
rpc.php for now. This phase will include rewriting the horde driver  
and replacing/augmenting the functionality of Z-Push's "diff" backend  
with Horde History. Look at SyncML code for how to use the history  
backend to retrieve the needed data.
