 I strongly suppose it is in $(bindir). That is because
staroffice/openoffice can easily find it, otherwise, staroffice have to
do some unreliable searching  for the "evolution-addressbook-export".  
As we know, $(privlibexecdir) will be like /usr/libexec/evolution/1.3/
the notation 1.3 or some later 1.4 or 1.x is a big obstacle for the
staroffice, especially for an released verion.  That is to say, how
could staroffice know what is  the future verion number or
$(privlibexecdir) is?

Anyway, I suggest at least it should be put into an fixed location and
please let us (addrdev-evo-so sun com)"  know  your decision ASAP.

Thanks
