/*
 * An abstract class which defines the API to a given backend.
 * There will be one PASBackend object for every URI which is loaded.
 *
 * Two people will call into the PASBackend API:
 *
 * 1. The PASBookFactory, when it has been asked to load a book.
 *    It will create a new PASBackend if one is not already running
 *    for the requested URI.  It will call pas_backend_add_client to
 *    add a new client to an existing PASBackend server.
 *
 * 2. A PASBook, when a client has requested an operation on the
 *    Evolution_Book interface.
