[bug#37444] [PATCH] added aerc, a simple email client and its dependcies

[Martin Becze]

Certainly! I'll get that up later today. On the propagated-inputs issue.
So I might be wrong here. But since all the go libraries are source only
it doesn't matter to the end result if the are propagated or not if the
libraries are used as `native-inputs`.. they shouldn't be left lying
around (I think?). Now the reason why the need to be propagated is that
when the go compiler go to compile the top level app (aerc) it needs to
have in it's GOPATH all of the dependencies and the dependencies of the
dependencies. The other way to do it is to put all of dependencies and
the dependencies of the dependencies in the native-input. But that
didn't seem right to me. Let me know what you think!
