 If BBDB is used then, bbdb-gnus.elc can't be shared with them before
Semi-gnus 6.8.X. It is necessary to byte-compile it again.

;; It is a simple way that only bbdb-gnus.el is byte-compiled after
;; gnus starts.

---
gnus-bbdb.el

 This is the BBDB API module for Semi-gnus. `mime-bbdb' should not be
necessary for Semi-gnus, if that module were used.

 You need FLIM 1.11.3 or later.

 If you are using bbdb-auto-notes-hook, the patch listed at the end
of this file should be applied. If not, it might not.

 EXAMPLE:

;; You need to set nothing for `mime-bbdb'.
;(setq mime-bbdb/use-mail-extr nil)
;(eval-after-load "mail-extr" '(require 'mime-bbdb))

(require 'bbdb)
(require 'gnus-bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'sc)  ;; 'Gnus or 'gnus should be deleted.
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'gnus-bbdb-insinuate)

 If you would like to decode the quoted encoded words forcibly, even
though FLIM does not decode them, put the following lines in your
.gnus file.

(setq gnus-bbdb/decode-field-body-function
      (function
       (lambda (field-body field-name)
         (eword-decode-string field-body))))

 This is a patch for bbdb.el / bbdb-hooks.el.
