It's a pity that a full installation of BBDB 3 needs autoconf 2.69.
(Installing autoconf 2.69 from scratch is actually not difficult.)
As a workaround, you can use the file lisp/makefile-temp to compile
the elisp files of BBDB 3 on most systems, see README. Most
importantly, this gives you the file lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el that you
should load to use BBDB 3.
I just updated lisp/makefile-temp on savannah, so you should get it
before trying this.

* lisp/makefile-temp: Add commentary. Copy bbdb-site.el.in to
bbdb-site.el. Clean up.
* README: Clean up.
BBDB is available at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bbdb/
To check it out, use
git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bbdb.git
