Wow, seems great !

Opening the dance with a very quick review of the mouse and color
features (which appear to work flawlessly).

* In abookrc.5 there's "use_color" instead of "use_colors"

* In options.c you use UL FALSE rather than simply FALSE (while I don't
  think we need to explicitly cast 0 or 1 to (unsigned long) here)

* About colors options naming and after reading naively the new manpage
  section, I think that something like:
color_list_even_* / color_list_odd_*
  may be more explicit semantics than:
color_list_* / color_list_alternate_*

* mouse support is nice but making it optional would be even better, I
myself often double-click a phone number from abook in order to paste it
somewhere else (eg gnokii) what becomes much harder with the color
patch, thus an option for the mouse support may makes sense (like most
virtual-terminal-based applications do when it comes to mouse)


About the "group" patch it may need some more time / more people to be
tested / reviewed.


About merging:

* @Michael, it appears that it's time for the vcard patch to be merged too but
unless I missed something, strcasestr() is part of strings.h which is
already included somewhere else in abook.
=> Fabio, in 55b7ed5 you also changed strcasestr() on the way so you may
have the answer too.

* About autoconf update, I'm not familiar with it but indeed at least
both debian and gentoo provide 1.11. But whoever the abook committer
will be, he will have to split bb38d092 anyway :)



thanks a lot !
