Let me re-iterate, and answer cbbrowne's email indirectly.  The proposal
was 'merely' to use the evolution GUI to manage addresses within GnuCash. 
Nothing more, nothing less.  This was followed by the implication that the
right way to do this was through LDAP.  Since Evolution is an LDAP client,
I assumed that reciprocally, gnucash would have to provide ldap-server-like
functions.  I envisioned a mini-crippled-function LDAP-serverish thing inside
of gnucash, accessible *only* to evolution, and implemented with no more than
a few hundred lines of code, and linked to some libldap.so.  Just enough
function to be able to use the Evolution GUI component.  

Storing names and addresses so that gnucash can print them onto checks,
bills and invoices shouldn't be rocket science.  It shouldn't require
a massive infrastructure overhead.
