I really, really do.  Unfortunately, the ldap part of it is very
specific to our ldap schema.  I will work on making it work for a more
generic ldap address book. 

To really make one patch work for both roundcube general and for people
like us with wacky addressbooks, I'd like to make it a patch against
devel-api and somewhere inside have a call to something like:

$RCMAIL->plugins->exec_hook('addressbook-autocomplete', array('search
terms . . . .

Then address books could implement that call.  Then that hook could be
called either by ajax or to pre-populate the client like we do currently.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ziba
