I've met this problem when syncing Ximian Evolution
and Nokia 6310i.
The Evolution contact list contained a default entry
for Ximian, and contained numbers like: (612) 555-111
I think, the gn_entry_sanitize should substitute the
numer with : +612555111, or at least eliminate '-'-s.

It would be really nice to have ability to query the
maximal amount of subentries somehow and store these
subentries in gn_phonebook_entry. Currently
gn_phonebook_entry can store a fixed amount (10) of
subentries.

That's my plan too, but it needed small cleanups. :-)
I'll keep vcard.c in gnokii plugin too, until the
Debian distro accepts the upstream version that
contains the patch.
