I wonder if it would be better to change from bibitem to real bibtex
for numerous reasons:
- bibitem painful while bibtex easy to write
- download bibtex from IEEE, Google Scholar, citeulike.org, ... nearly
everywhere
  (no handwritten bibitem stuff)
- make single bibliographic file like RNews does:
http://cran.at.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/
- syntax checking through bibtex
- easy style application to bibtex references
