[horde] Global prefered addressbook in pref

Hi,

I am not quite sure if this is the right list to discuss this topic.
Please advise if I should take that thread elsewhere.

I would like to be able to set the addressbook that is selected by
default in turba/search.php and advanced.php.  By that, I mean the one
being "selected" in the source option box by default.  In 
imp/contacts.php, the selected option is the add_source prefs of IMP.

So I could add this prefs to Turba, but this sound bad to me since the
default addressbook in imp/contacts.php and turba/search.php would have
to be set in two different place and could be inconsistent.

What would be the best approach IMHO would be to have an horde prefs
defining default addressbook.  This one could be used by both Turba and
IMP and maybe other app if they have to deal with addressbok.

The downside is that if we move the imp/add_source prefs to horde, this
would break backward compatibility with current imp/prefs.php.

So, is this a good idea ?  I would be interested in implementing this
change if it is acceptable.  Please bear with me if this make no sense
or violate some design guideline as I am just beginning to hack Horde's
code.

Thank you all,
