I see that abook provides 'export filters' one of which works from 
muttalias so you could create a muttalias file and then use it through 
the filter into abook.
What is it about abook that you want/like/need? What functionality does 
it provide?
The only 'features' described on their sourceforge page seem to be the 
import and export filters.
