[python-win32] getting global addressbook with extended mapi

[Mark Hammond]

HrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList and a few others appeared to vanish from
recent Exchange SDK versions.  Its not clear from MSDN what the status is of
those functions, but they certainly don't appear in any MS .h files I
currently have.

It appears that ActiveDirectory can be used to access the GAL on later
exchanges - maybe that is the new "official" way of doing it?  A quick
google may offer other advice - eg, see if you can find any C++ code that
references the GAL by any way other than that function.
