I plan to finish it but I rely on the vCard-Parser from Tobias. Evolution does 
use vCard in a berkeley DB but version vcard2.1 the old vCard parser wasn't 
able to parse all vCards of evolution and had no Addressee->String support 
for version2.1.
The current version ( rewrite of Tobias ) should be able to do so. I also 
'ported' the evolution resource to use the new parser but it crashed. We 
think due duplicates symbols of the old and the new parser ( namespaces :) ).
So once we really switched to Tobias' parser and I clean up my build system I 
really make the resource work.
