Well, I got a single response (Thanks Hunter) about using fields in
BBDB to split mail, but this wasn't what I wanted to do.

So I had to hack up something myself. I used a function in the normal
split rules to hack this together, and the function itself looks like
this:

(defun jjdg-bbdb-split-search (group)
  (let (from)
    (setq from (gnus-extract-address-components (gnus-fetch-field "from")))
    (when from
      (bbdb-search-simple (car from) (cdr from))))
)

This does exactly what I want. Lars, thanks for thinking ahead and
allowing functions in normal splits, and for providing gnus-util.el!
It makes writing this sort of stuff much simpler.
