Attached is a small, stand-alone program that can parse the LaTeX accents
code found in BibTeX .bib files and display the resulting string prettily.
The idea is to wrap all this up in a new BibtexItem class to store and parse
individual BibTeX records and to send this string to the GUI citation dialog
(and eventually bibtex dialog for easy insertion of \nocite commands).
The program uses the contents of the appropriate .cdef file to recognise
supported LaTeX accents. I think it's "production quality" but would value
your comments and tests.
If doing so, please read the comments at the top of the file.
