So, looks like the addressbook storage details changed in maemo (or it
have always been this way?). The e_book_get_addressbooks() looks for
ESources paths inside the gconf key
/apps/evolution/addressbook/sources, which is empty in both
Bora/OS2007 and Chinook/OS2008.

Anyway, you can open the default addressbook using the
open_addressbook("default") function. Right when a fix is found I'll
ship a new package.
