Because:

  - This is developed rather as a technical research.
  - It adds extra dependencies.
  - It works as stand-alone, so it's also useful for non-Sylpheed users.
  - It is also an example of use of LibSylph.
  - It can cooperate with Sylpheed with inter-process communication.

The feature might be integrated in the future, though.
