Cool, I didn't know such a tool existed.

If you type "upldif -h" you'll get a brief help output describing the
options. The main idea is to feed the LDIF data to upldif on stdin.
The best way to do it is:
cat ldif.txt | upldif
This will dump the contacts to stdout as closely as upldif can figure
things out. Take a good look at this, and if it looks like what you
want written to the device, then do the real upload like this:
cat ldif.txt | upldif -u
This will actually write that data to the device.
If you have problems, please report them so they can be fixed. It is
beta software. :-)

--with-boost=/usr
That should do the trick, as it expects include/ and lib/ to be in
the directory you specify.

You're very welcome. If you have time, you might consider contributing
documentation on this LDIF process once you have it figured out. I'm sure
others might find it useful. A txt file that could be dropped in
the doc/ directory would be fantastic. :-)
If you feel adventurous, you could write up a quick man page for
upldif too. :-)
In any case, thanks for helping test Barry!
