I seem to recall from a posting by David Desrosiers some time back that there was some initial work done in pilot-link but that is currently incomplete. It would be best that, where it makes sense to do so, code that is developed to parse ContactsDB could be pushed into pilot-link (as the lower level in the stack). That way applications outside the gnome-pilot universe such as jpilot and the Perl bindings for pilot-link (I use these to sync my Treo with BBDB via syncbbdb) could also benefit. Of course I'm assuming that sync via the Evolution conduits uses at least some of the code in pilot-link, and I haven't looked at the code to know how it is actually currently designed/implemented, so I'm probably way off base here.
