Hopefully the statement isn't literal, but is rather intended as "envisioning 
GnuCash as a financial _equivalent_ to an LDAP server."

If there are perfectly good LDAP servers out there, there's NO reason for 
GnuCash to replicate this.

The approach of having BOTH GnuCash and Evolution connect to an LDAP
client would seem preferable, as that allows them _both_ to stay away
from the details of managing the data, and allows _both_ to access the
same data equally well.
