Automatically add GrowlMail plugin compatibility to the latest Mail.app version

UpdateGrowlMail.sh

# Updates the Growl Mail plugin when unknown compatibility preemptive deactivation happens.
# This consists in finding the “compatibility UUID” for the new Mail version, and adding it to the supported UUIDs of GrowlMail.
#
# See http://langui.sh/2009/11/09/fixing-growlmail-letterbox-for-mail-4-2/ for more details on the procedure.
