I was talking to my wife, who is the biblatex user in our house, and it
seems the dependency on biber is more of a recommendation. Biblatex
seems to function OK using bibtex in place of biber. Of course there
might be some issues that we don't know about, but at least it generates
OK looking documents in her tests.
