I changed this to Automake 1.13, but I have little doubt that 1.11
will fail, the reason being that the automake elisp interface was
completely redesigned for 1.13, see

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00038.html

BBDB needs the new automake variable AM_ELCFLAGS.

If you are curious about further details, see the thread

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2013-07/msg00617.html

But you can also try yourself:

Change the line in configure.ac that requires automake 1.13 to your
version of automake and see whether you can build BBDB.

The good thing is:

By now, BBDB should be pretty close to a proper release. I am just
waiting whether some hidden errors show up in the latest changes.

Also, I have still kept the file lisp/makefile-temp that allows you
to compile bbdb without any autoconf / automake tools.
