Claws-Mail for Zesty

Hello fellow Claws-Mail users.

I just resync'd the Zesty version to the version from Debian unstable,
specifically 3.14.1-1. It should work its way through -proposed now and
hopefully land in the archive soon.

As far as I've been able to tell, the one remaining Ubuntu delta has landed
upstream, so it can be safely dropped. This should allow Ubuntu to more
quickly benefit from the great work the Debian maintainer is doing.

I have noticed one problem though, which a local build/test did not fix: the
Python plugin fails to load. I haven't been able to coax any more information
out of CM as to what's going on here, but as you might guess, this is a
problem for me personally so I'm motivated to dig into it. If you have any
insight, please get in touch. (I also need to check if the same happens in
unstable.)

Cheers,
-Barry
