I think Roland wrote bbbd 3.0 with the idea to remove some crufts,
enhance the clarity of the code (function's description, etc.) and use
more meaningful names.

Also, I think that only a few variables were changed. Updating my conf
was not much of a big deal <- I am not an emacs old timer, though. I
