[ANN] ruby-msg-1.3.1 (outlook msg lib) and ruby-ole-1.2.1

The new version of ruby-msg has been released!

A bunch of bugs have been closed, and a lot more MAPI properties are now
converted to their MIME equivalents (eg importance, priority, etc).

This release also splits out the OLE storage component into a separate
library: ruby-ole. This is a complete, stable lib for read/write access
to OLE documents.

Simply:

  1. gem install ruby-msg (this will also install ruby-ole)
  2. convert some msg files. there is now a mbox mode - (msgtool -m *.msg

mbox)
