Bug#218310: bibtex2html: doesn't properly quote '&'

Hello,

I have a BibTeX entry with an url field like this:

  url = {http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&issn=0302-9743&volume=2840&spage=657},

which bibtex2html translates into HTML by:

  URL = {<a href="http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&amp;issn=0302-9743&amp;volume=2536&amp;spage=82";>http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&issn=0302-9743&volume=2536&spage=82</a>},

The &'s are correctly quoted inside the href="..." but not between <a>
and </a>. It should produce something like:

  URL = {<a href="http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&amp;issn=0302-9743&amp;volume=2536&amp;spage=82";>http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&amp;issn=0302-9743&amp;volume=2536&amp;spage=82</a>},

Here is a simple patch correcting my problem. Note that I didn't check
if a similar fix were needed elsewhere.
