This may be quite heretical, but have you considered Markdown for the
BBDB docs? No build systems needed; readable as plain text; convertible
to many other formats with little work; really easy to learn and use.
Emacs can view it. I've been happy with Markdown for personal and work
use.
The lack of a build system is especially appealing, from experience with
installing hundreds of megabytes for the documentation support toolchain
for Gnus and BBDB.
