1. If you only can, ignore dist_list_mode. This field is a semi-quick
hack. 

2. You can treat LDIF format as the fundamental one. It is most
flexible - and also basically identical to LDAP responses. I am sure
one can obtain similar effects with VCARD format, though.

3. I would consider adding another class LibBalsaDistList. The address
book should have entries which can be ordinary addresses or dist
lists.

Does it sound sensible?
