This makes bibtex customizable. At long last bibtex's options (--min-crossref particularly) and alternatives (bibtex8, bibulus, mlbibtex, clbibtex etc.) can be used [1]. It should work as is, but I'd like to test a bit once cvs is usable again. Can it go in then?
Jürgen. [1] to my best knowledge. I have not tried all those compilers myself (and some are still in alpha state). But AFAIK they all either use bibtex's file formats or provide at least a compatibility mode.
