SYNOPSIS

        contacts_export.pl [options]

DESCRIPTION

This script will read an XML/contacts file and will export it to a particular formats. Formats which are planned to be supported: 1. kmail - a file that you could use so that you will have all your contact information in kmail. This is a text file which only has "John Doe john@doe.com" type entries. 2. evolution - a file that you could use so that you will have all your contact information in evolution. In essense this file is a Bekeley DB file and I use perl modules for manipulating Berkeley DB files to do that. 3. gnokii - a file fit to be transferred using gnokii to a Nokia cellular phone (I still dont know what that format is and still is still not implemented).
