I'm a little new to php, so I'm looking at the code and seeing how it works now,
before I could ever think up a solution.  My idea is using the existing group
system, but allowing any addressbook to added to the groups.  Maybe it would be
easier if the groups system wasn't built into the 'My Addressbook' and had it's
own set of tables?  More learning on my part is needed.
