Thanks for this! I am not scripting-handy at all ;-) ! A script would be great, although at the moment I 
await an answer on a LibreOffice-question that would solve the problem as well:

You probably know that LibreOffice can tab EDS as address data source (although without 
birthdays&anniversaries data) and in Base you can create reports with layout. This worked well in the past, 
but somehow it does not work anymore with the new versions of LibreOffice and Evolution. So far nobody could 
help me, but I am still hopeful. Does anybody on this list have an idea why it does not work?

The tool evolution-addressbook-export is good enough for me to extract the birthdays although I lobby for 
integrating this in the GUI (see other email).
May I email you again in case I don't find a solution for the LibreOffice problem?
