vm looks for vcard-api-version - not defined

In the vm package vm-vcard.el starts like this:

    (require 'vcard)

    (and (string-lessp vcard-api-version "2.0")
         (error "vm-vcard.el requires vcard API version 2.0 or later."))

It appears to satisfy the vcard requirement in the gnus package, however,
neither that package nor any other I can find installed defines
vcard-api-version.

Looks like the version of vcard.el which comes with gnus is old.  I found
this version via google:

    http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/vcard.el

I dropped it into my ~/emacs directory and now messages containing vcards
display properly.  Perhaps gnus should be updated to include that newer
version of vcard.el or vcard.el should be added as a package in its own
right.
