* Description:  The contact manager for accessing different stores.
*                Initialization: a client gives an array of store URIs (Virtual
*                offers some URIs, see VPbkStoreUriLiterals.h) when creating
*                a manager. The client uses store list to open all stores.

/**
 * Virtual Phonebook Contact Manager. Contact Manager is the root access point
 * to Virtual Phonebook engine functionality. The client can specify the list
 * of stores in the constructor he/she is interested in or load additional 
 * plug-ins later on. In addition to loading the implementing plug-ins the 
 * client must open the stores. Clients should share the contact manager 
 * instance within their context, otherwise e.g. field types from two 
 * different instances will not produce the matches as the matching is
 * based on pointer comparison.
 *
 * Examples of absolute URI stores:
 * Default contact database: "cntdb://contacts.cdb"
 * LDAP store: "ldap://www.telnumbers.com/"
 * The URI scheme name is used to resolve a store capable of supporting 
 * this type of store. The actual store implementations are ECom plugins.
