I think we should use BibTeX itself to create a bibliography environment and 
load it up into a 'hidden' buffer. That way we are guaranteed to be able to 
parse the data base and we can retain/improve the bibitem code as we 
desire.

I have a little shell script to create a lyx buffer from a bibtex database.
