Description:

Upon updating to bbdb-3.1.2-1; running (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message):

Gnus will not start, but fails with:
Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb-insinuate-gnus . Message bombs with a similar missing symbol.

As it turns out, the initialization for bbdb-3 is abjectly stupid.

The old way (makes sense):

(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)

The new way (hurrah!, garbage boilerplate):

(require 'bbdb-loaddefs)
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)

Please add a gnus breakage section to to the install message and release -2. It'll save poor saps like me some time.
