Hi Christian

Thanks! - One concern is about the options of the ./configure script
related to the installation of BBDB.  Say, currently the options
--prefix  and --datadir don't do anything meaningful.  But I don't
know what would be meaningful here.

I am really a novice with that stuff. So possibly there are more
problems hidden that I have not yet realized.
