IMHO the addressbook format is Berkeley DB and there should be a package
with tools for your distributio, to manipulate them. At least a dump
with a shell or perl script to strip all unneeded info should do.

I remember of a perl sript (with Evo) for that, but I can't find it
right now.

You should find it in the arhives and some info in the FAQs on
ximian.com. HTH
