I think that using TeX (instead of LaTeX) is really an outdated
approach for printing bbdb records.  Modern LaTeX has lots of fancy
packages to support, for example, language-specific stuff.
Therefore, a re-write of bbdb-print should provide a way to exploit
these LaTeX features effectively (instead of reinventing the wheel
by defining \today for different languages / different tastes).

Also, it should be possible to include bbdb records in LaTeX
documents using something like

\begin{bbdbrecord}
...
\end{bbdbrecord}

with a (customizable) LaTeX environment bbdbrecord that knows how to print
a bbdb record.
