I am not sure what you mean by separate module. libbalsa.a library is  
built - and for example linked to a separate address book binary  
src/balsa-ab.

Suggestions and patches etc will be very much appreciated!

balsa has reached some relative maturity - the primary developes have  
scratched their itches :). However, all ideas/patches are welcome, I am  
sure there are many things that balsa can do smarter. balsa-list is a  
great place for communication and patch submission!

Thanks again,
