Adds Gmail-esque keyboard shorcuts to Mail.app. This is still very much a work in progress.

- Grab the latest build from Github releases
- Unzip to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
- Enable Mail.app plugins:
defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
- Build the project or download it from Github releases
- In the Finder, open /tmp/Gmailinator and ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
- Copy the GMailinator.mailbundle folder from /tmp/Gmailinator to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
- In mail, open Preferences -> General -> Manage Plug-ins, and enable Gmailinator.
- You will be prompted to restart Mail
The following command will tell Gatekeeper to allow the plug-in to be enabled:
spctl --add /tmp/GMailinator/GMailinator.mailbundle
A lot of this was built with heavy use of of the BindDeleteKeyToArchive project by Ben Lenarts. The Xcode project and interface skeleton were all from that project, and for the most part, renamed. I added the keybinding code.
A lot of the code is also either copied in whole, or modified from the Nostalgy4Mail.app project, by Hajo Nils Krabbenhöft, and subsequently by Jelmer van der Linde. I've added support for ARC (turns out there were quite a few leaks), and prettied-up (imho) the move-to-folder dialog.
