Make a LibreOffice connectivity/sdbc driver that does not use the in-tree ancient Mozilla copy. http://forums.devx.com/archive/index.php/t-66624.html says one can do that through the Windows Address Book (WAB) API. It seems to be deprecated (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms629361%28v=VS.85%29.aspx ). The replacement is Windows Contacts API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735779%28v=vs.85%29.aspx that's a venue to explore, too. We need to pay attention that Windows Contacts API is available on as old Windows as we want to support. This needs handling the SQL ourselves, like our mork driver does (connectivity/source/drivers/mork)
In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval. Thank you and apologies for the noise
A great easy-hack, though not entirely trivial for sure :-)
