writes a CSV (comma separated values) version on STDOUT.

Basic usage:

sylxml2csv.pl < .sylpheed-2.0/addrbook-000001.xml > syl-addrbook.csv

The '-p' (person) and '-a' (address) options can be used to control which
fields will appear in the output, and in which order.  Either option should be
followed by a list of fields, e.g.:

sylxml2csv.pl -p 'first-name last-name' -a 'email' < .sylpheed-2.0/addrbook-000001.xml > syl-addrbook.csv

The field names are:

Person:
	
first-name
last-name
nick-name
cn (Display Name)
uid

Address:

alias
email
remarks
uid

The default person fields are "first-name last-name cn nick-name", and the
default address fields are "email remarks".

A custom, constant field can be added to all rows via the '-c' option.  This
might be useful when concatenating multiple address books, e.g.:


sylxml2csv.pl -c Personal < .sylpheed-2.0/addrbook-000001.xml > syl-addrbook.csv
sylxml2csv.pl -c Work < .sylpheed-2.0/addrbook-000002.xml >> syl-addrbook.csv
sylxml2csv.pl -c Family < .sylpheed-2.0/addrbook-000003.xml >> syl-addrbook.csv
