This would be a fine thing, but it doesn't seem like it ought to be
nearly as a high priority as (for example) getting offline LDAP and
SSL-LDAP working. After all, there are lots of web-based LDAP
administration packages available that one can use to allow people to
administer and change the central addressbook, which is presumably a
fairly rare occurance, compared to just reading from it.

We're getting there. The abzilla.mozdev.org changes are landing,
piece by piece. We won't have quite the right UI for this in 0.9.4,
but perhaps in 0.9.5...
