  "Create a buffer with unmigrated BBDB data.
Usefull if you fooled around with BBDB file format 4 by Alex and want to
start using the official BBDB 2.00.06 again.  In order to do that, you
have to save your .bbdb in BBDB file format 3 instead of the file format 4
introduced by Alex.  This function will create a *BBDB Version 3* buffer
for you, which you can examine and save as your new .bbdb.  The unmigration
will strip the country fields of all entries in your BBDB as such a field
did not exist in the BBDB file format 3 used in BBDB 2.00.06."
