Byte-compiling bbdb. This takes looooooong...

Notice the error when first loading bbdb.
The file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50bbdb.el has:

 (require 'bbdb-autoloads)

but it doesn't exist yet.  I suggest only seeting up the package if
bbdb-autoloads.el exists.   I do something similar in many packages,
e.g. in mh-e :

(cond
 ((not (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mh-e"))
  (message "Package mh-e removed but not purged.  Skipping setup."))
 ((eq debian-emacs-flavor 'emacs20)
  (message "Skipping MH-E package setup for emacs20: not supported."))
 ((eq debian-emacs-flavor 'emacs-snapshot)
  (message "Skipping MH-E package setup for emacs-snapshot"))
 (t
  ;; Setup
[cut]
  ;; Usual entry commands into MH-E
  (require 'mh-autoloads)

  ;; contrib autoloads
  (autoload 'mh-frame "mh-frame" "" t)))

The side-effect of this is that installation of emacs-snapshot-gtk fails
on the package `vm-bonus-el' because bbdb is setup but not installed.  I
think the problem will go away if bbdb is fixed.

Thanks,
Peter
