I build gmime myself for use on windows.  This is what I have with both
installed:
bin/
  gmime-config  -- from 2.0, doesn't exist in 2.4
  uuencode , uudecode --from 2.4
  libgmime-2.0.dll
  libgmime-2.4.dll
include/
  gmime-2.0/
  gmime-2.4/
lib/
  gmimeConf.sh   -- from 2.0, doesn't exist with 2.4
  libgmime-2.0.dll.a
  libgmime-2.0.a
  libgmime-2.0.la
  libgmime-2.4.dll.a
  libgmime-2.4.a
  libgmime-2.4.la
  pkgconfig/
    gmime-2.0.pc
    gmime-2.4.pc
share/
  gtk-doc/
    html/
      gmime/
      gmime-2.4/

As you can see there are only two points of overlap with the uu
programs.  The reason for this is that 2.0 & 2.4 are not compatable, it
probably should have been called 3.0 to make that clear, so you really
need both versions installed.

I don't know if it's finished but the changes he made have raised the
requirement to GTK+ 2.16 which uses GLib 2.18.
