Yes, that's it exactly---I'm trying to use it with Emacs 22. There were
some warnings during compilation, but nothing fatal. I'll be glad to
document those, if you like.

I understand your reticence, but my reasoning is thus: BBDB3 works,
sort of, with Emacs 22[1]. Every time so far I've gotten an error, it's
for Emacs to complain about not knowing what special-mode is; given
that, I thought it would be the logical place for someone wanting to get
things working on <=22 to start.
If you don't want it in the README, maybe instead I should file a
lowish-priority bug on Savannah? (Are we using the Savannah bug
tracker?) That way if anybody with more skills than I feels motivated,
it can get fixed.
[1] bbdb-create works, gathering names and addresses from mail works
(with an error message sometimes, but still working), but displaying
the results of a search doesn't work.
