is there any way of turning muttrc list into an evolution or other mail alias database?

OK, I had to install evolution to try this, but it works
flawlessly:

% abook --convert --infile ./.mutt/aliases --informat mutt \
  --outformat ldif --outfile /tmp/try.ldif

Then go to evo, File->Import->Single file->/tmp/try.ldif

And I'm looking at my address book in evo.
