Google SoC : Mac OS X Address Book

As reminder, the Mac OS X port had two applications during the Google Summer of Code. And one of them, the Mac OS X Address Book integration in OpenOffice.org, is work in very good progress : Omer Bar-or, mentored by Sebastien Plisson and Florian Heckl did a very good work !

I tested it recently, and so far, I was able to retrieve all the content of my Address Book on Mac OS X.

Sure, they are a lot of tests I didn't, and maybe I missed something (I'm a complete newbie with Databases), but what I have seen works already.

Google Summer of Code helps a lot OpenOffice.org project, and is a nice idea.

Note : I'll do some proposal soon to improve the candidates selection.

Thanks to Patrick Luby, from NeoOffice project, who contributed to the Mac OS X Address Book implementation on OpenOffice.org, fixing build breakers, and improving the code.
