Indeed I broke the function when adding support for bibentry objects...
By the way, let's give credits back to Ceasars: I am not the author of
the bibtex package, Romain Francois is. I just contributed the write.bib
function, mainly inspired by Achim's function.
Romain, I will send a fix for this now.

Hi,
I actually adapted and integrated this feature into Achim's -- nice
-- function (posted on r-help).
Romain included it a couple of weeks ago into the bibtex package as
function write.bib, and submitted the update to CRAN, but some NOTEs
in the check delayed its availability on CRAN.
You can still install and try out the new version with:
install.packages("bibtex", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)
Keys for multiple citations are generated as "<pkgname>%i", which
might not be ideal, but works ok though. It might be better not
number the first (main) citation. Romain, I think I will submit a
patch for this.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Renaud
I now have a working function, Rpackages.bib() that is roughly
equivalent to your write.bib() and other related
material at
http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Private/Rbibs/
Also, see the document
http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Private/Rbibs/Rpkg-test.pdf
which reports some problems & perl fixes for the generated
bibentries. These might be incorporated into
the functions to make the resulting bibtex files directly usable.
Your bibtex package seems the most natural place for
this.
Also, write.bib() doesn't seem to work unless you pass a list of
package names.
> write.bib()
Error in is(entry, "bibentry") :
argument "entry" is missing, with no default
> write.bib(NULL)
Error in write.bib(NULL) :
Invalid argument `entry`: expected a bibentry object or a character
vector of package names.
