I decided, in a moment of madness, to make Evolution talk to the Dartmouth Name Directory, an old directory service at my alma mater. This was a slightly crazy thing to do, because I didn't know the first thing about LDAP. :-/
Fortunately, the OpenLDAP project's slapd daemon supports external shell scripts, and there are lots of LDAP-related RFCs out there. (And I'd worked with the DND before.) So after a /very/ long day of hacking, I can now access the DND through LDAP. If anybody else has an older, funky directory service, and wants to be able to access it from Evolution, please let me know. I can package up my Python code in a module and release it.
