Oh, I didn't know it was that modular. I've never seen is, just
heard from others that it looks/feels exactly like Outlook, from
which I gathered it was also just as painful :) Maybe I was wrong to
jump to that conclusion.

Okay, it sounds like you're already way ahead of me, I'll be quiet
now :)

Hmmm, that could be interesting. Sounds like maybe a build time
option? Maybe you could use the interfaces for data entry, but the
build time option of choosing an sql backend would dictate a storage
mechanism that placed the data into the db.
Does Evolution support LDAP? Could you somehow use that to interface
into the db with the sql backend?

I realize that, but I wanted to point out that there's a huge
difference between what you guys did and what real DLL hell is.
(see my earlier rant if you've missed it)

Ahm, a result of being /.'ed I take it? Probabaly a good thing,
maybe GnuMatic/GnuCash will attract a little more attention from
those who haven't yet found it :)
