For a while I've had a function for creating textual citations of my
BBDB contacts, that relied on `bbdb-dwim-mail'. I expanded that to make
use of org's link syntax, so that you can insert a BBDB link on the
spot, without having to first visit your *BBDB* buffer and create a link
there. I find this pretty helpful.

If anyone can think of more formatting possibilities, "formats" could be
broken out into a variable.

Incidentally, I'm using `ido-everywhere', and would like to write this
function so that it didn't _rely_ on ido, but made use of ido when
`ido-everywhere' was true. Ie, I'd like to replace the
`ido-completing-read' calls with something more generic that still made
use of ido when it was turned on. Any suggestions?

Eric
