[evolution-patches] Bug 127513: Gaim/addressbook identity integration



Here is the latest incarnation of the Gaim/Evolution addressbook
synchronization patch. Once again, this comes in a patch for e-d-s,
one for evolution, and a tarball for evolution as well.

This is a working implementation for setting IM accounts for a user.
It changes the field type for the IM account lists, as discussed with
Chris Toshok, though due to the current architecture of EContact, it
cannot yet set whether an account is of type HOME, WORK, etc. However,
that can be done later on without breaking things, from my
understanding of the current implementation of libebook's vcard
support and field types.

The Evolution patch adds an Instant Messaging tab to the contact
editor, and allows any number of accounts to be added. Furthermore,
future versions of gaim (starting with 0.75cvs) will allow you to drag
contacts from the buddy list to the instant messaging account list in
Evolution, and vice versa.

This is the last thing on the Evolution side needed for the bounty.
The Gaim side will be done tomorrow. I feel it's ready to be
committed, but please let me know if any changes should be made.

Thank you.

Christian
