I haven't used this library yet (I've just been manually porting my bibtex files because I somehow missed this option), but if I were to use it, I'd definitely want to use it to pull in some bibs that I hadn't ported yet and not give up the ones I've already rewritten (as they are actually much better than the ones I have in bibtex already).
