Thanks, I've made these extra fixes to the scripts, they're available
from the Wiki. I did not change the "BibTeX string" problem, as that
is really a BD bug that has been fixed in the latest nightlies. So if
you want to use the scripts you should use a recent nightlies or patch
it yourself in the script (the last nightly is safe, even safer than
the release).
