Subject: Basic vcard-to-org-contacts converter

Hi list!
I decided to give org-contacts a try. Since there doesn't seem to be a
facility for importing contacts in vcard format, I wrote a little Python
script for that. Perhaps someone on this list finds it useful.
https://gist.github.com/tmalsburg/9747104
The script uses the Python package vobject for parsing vcard files. On
Debian-like systems this package is available as python-vobject. I
tested the script with contacts exported from Apple's iCloud service and
that worked well. However, the vcard format is somewhat messy and I
don't know what happens with vcard files generated in other contact
managers. Use at your own risk.
If there's interest, I might migrate the script to a proper Github
repository and develop it further, i.e., merge your pull-requests ;-)
Titus
