I'm not entirely sure about this, but here are some notes and thoughts
about this:

The file /usr/share/evolution/1.4/default_user/addressbook-sources.xml
seems to be the source for the pre-defined addressbook. It should be
possible, to edit this.

The user configuration is stored in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ using
GConf. You probably can make this a link, but I doubt read-only will
work without major problems...


Maybe the hackers can tell you more about this...
