I figured that much, which is why I ask (again): how could I have explained
it better?

It should be just (require 'bbdb), I guess, except that BBDB is not part of
Emacs, so we can't properly compile eudcb-bbdb.el in Emacs.  I.e. another
solution is required.

But it gets compiled long before knowing whether you're going to ever use it.

Of course.  (Re-)Read the INSTALL.CVS file.
