uses two configure calls to build for two gtk versions. Building for
python2 and 3 is similar.

Since this is public module we want python-kopano and python3-kopano so
that both python2 and python3 projects can use it. All kopano internal
tools should switch to using the python3 version (by changing the
interpreter to /usr/bin/python3).

for search I'd keep the package name and switch to python3.
