Hrm. How many address books are we going to search for the contacts?
Only the one you are importing to.

What do people consider the correct behavior with distribution lists
to be? Should we look up each email address in them, add found
contacts to a new contact list if we find them, and create new
contacts and add them to the list if we don't?
Sounds right.

This will probably need to be Turba-specific, right? Not sure we can
handle this in a generic way.
Why does it need to be generic?  The pine driver should probably be
moved to Turba anyway.  It doesn't handle generic "data" like the
other drivers in the Data package.
It doesn't have to be generic, I was just making sure it makes sense 
for it _not_ to be.

See http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/low-level.html#addrbook 
for file format.



Basically,



'For a distribution list, the <address> is in the format:



"(" <address>, <address>, <address>, ... ")"'



We simply ignore distribution lists at the moment (around line 146 of 
Data/tsv.php)
