This is probably of no interest, but I hacked Mathias's cl-bibtex in a
different -- and incompatible -- direction.  The main source of
variation is that I have no interest in the language ("BAFLL"), but
instead would rather create some Lisp macros to make it easy to write
bibliography in Lisp.  The main part of Mathias's code that I still
use is the stuff that reads bibtex files and creates the database of
publications.

I have sort of half-finished my project, enough to use it for some of
my own papers, but I wouldn't think anyone else would find it useful,
without some further polishing.  However, if you're thinking of doing
something similar I would be glad to tell you more about my approach.
