Hmm, I hadn't realized the siteuation was so complicated.  I had hoped
simply building btparse against the lib in the perl package would work...

Anyway, I don't use the package anymore, so afaic, it can be removed
;)   BibTeX is rather widely used though, and I'm note sure though if
there are any alternatived to parse bibtex databases..

Regards,
Bas.
