% ^^A is still undefined (working with booleans became too tricky because they

%    \begin{abstract}
%    \ThisPackage\ is a revised version of P. Basso's
%    \Package{bibtopics.sty}\footnote{The name has been truncated to
%    fit the 8\BTplus 3 scheme of certain OSes.}.  It allows for
%    bibliographic references which are taken from several \File{.bib}
%    files and written to separate bibliographies by \LaTeX. These
%    bibliographies may be considered as covering different topics
%    (hence the name) or different material (such as references from
%    articles, references from books, \dots). The package works
%    exclusively on the \LaTeX\ side of things; it won't help your
%    with constructing the the different \File{.bib} files for the
%    various topics.\footnote{There are several tools that may
%    help you with doing this; see section~\ref{sec:tools} for details
%    about this.}
%    
%    Besides from offering features the former version didn't have,
%    this version is compatible with various document classes and
%    bibliographic styles (such as the \textsc{KOMA} classes
%    and the \Package{natbib} package). The package works
%    with \LaTeX2e\ only.  It is currently maintained by
%    S.~Ulrich; please send bug reports or feature requests to
%    \texttt{stefanulrich@users.sourceforge.net}.

% \iffalse
%    Especially in the humanities there's often a need to have
%    several bibliographies in a document covering different topics or
%    material from different sources; e.\,g., people doing historical
%    studies may want to put their original sources into one
%    bibliography and the secondary writings into another; or one
%    might want to list all articles in one bibliography and books in
%    anoter, and so on.  This package should help you incorporating
%    these different bibliographies into your \LaTeX\ document; the
%    database files for \BibTeX\ will still have to be constructed
%    independently, according to your actual criteria.
% \fi
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \section{Example of use}\label{sec:example}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    Here's a short example showing the main features of
%    \ThisPackage. Let's assume that you want to have two separate
%    bibliographies in your document: References to \textit{books}
%    (with \File{books.bib} as bibliography file) and
%    references to \textit{articles} (with \File{articles.bib} as
%    bibliography file).  For brevity, \File{books.bib} shall
%    contain entries for just two citation keys: \texttt{ColBenh:93}
%    and \texttt{Munt:93}, and \File{Articles.bib} shall contain
%    entries for the two keys \texttt{RouxSmart:95} and
%    \texttt{Schwind:96}.\footnote{The \File{.bib} files are contained
%    in the distribution, as well as all the other files mentioned in
%    the example.  So you may have a look at them while reading this,
%    and run \LaTeX/\BibTeX\ on these files yourself.}  Then your
%    input file might look as shown in
%    figure~\ref{fig:input} on page~\pageref{fig:input}.
%
%    
%    To produce a \File{.dvi} file, you'll have to run \LaTeX\ and \BibTeX\ as
%    follows:\smallskip
%
%    {\small\begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%    \File{\$ latex sample}\\
%    \footnotesize \dots\ (\emph{message from \ThisPackage\ to
%       run Bib\TeX\ on `\File{sample1}' and `\File{sample2}'}) \dots\\
%    \File{\$ bibtex sample1}\quad
%           \footnotesize(\emph{Note: Filename without extension!})\\
%    \File{\$ bibtex sample2}\\
%    \File{\$ latex sample}\\
%    \footnotesize\dots\ (\emph{message from \LaTeX: \ErrMessage{Rerun to get references right}}) \dots\\
%    \File{\$ latex sample}
%    \end{tabular}}\medskip

%    Let's cite all the books: \cite{ColBenh:93} and

%    \end{figure}
% ^^A ------
% ^^A
%    So there's one extra \File{.aux} file per \Env{btSect}. These
%    files have the same base name as your \LaTeX\ source file, with
%    an additional number that refers to the number of the \Env{btSect}
%    environment in the \LaTeX\ file.\footnote{^^A
%    You can customize this naming scheme; see the
%    description of the \Com{thebtauxfile} command,
%    p.\,\pageref{doc:thebtauxfile}.}
%    You need to run \BibTeX\ on each of these files.
%    The resulting \File{.dvi} file should look like
%    figure~\ref{fig:output} on page~\pageref{fig:output}.
%
%    Some other things to note about this example:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item The second (the non-optional) argument
%        of the \Env{btSect} environment specifies
%        the \BibTeX\ source file(s) for the current `topic'.
%    \item Every \Env{btSect} may use its own bibliography style
%        (with some restrictions; see item~\ref{doc:mixing-styles}
%        on page~\pageref{doc:mixing-styles}).
%    \item The standard \LaTeX\ command \cmd{\bibliograpy} doesn't work
%       with \ThisPackage, and is effectively disabled when using the package.
%       Instead, the package has three separate commands \cmd{\btPrintCited}, \cmd{\btPrintNotCited}
%       or \cmd{\btPrintAll} to print the citations:
%    \item \cmd{\btPrintCited}
%       prints all references for the authors who have been cited in
%       the document (for the references from \File{articles}, this is
%       the article by \emph{Roux and Smart}).
%    \item \cmd{\btPrintNotCited} prints references for authors \emph{not}
%       cited in the document (\emph{Schwind} in the example).
%    \item \cmd{\btPrintAll} (not shown in the example) prints all references
%       from the bibliography file, regardless of whether they have been cited or not.
%    \item Unless the package option \Env{printheadings} is specified,
%       the default section titles and running headers of
%       \Env{thebibliography} are suppressed; the user may provide his
%       own titles using \LaTeX's normal sectioning commands
%       (\Com{section} in the example).
%    \end{itemize}

%    \section{User interface}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    After this short example, let's have a more detailed look on the syntax
%    of the user commands.
%
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \subsection{Commands and environments}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    
%    \begin{UserCommands}
%    \item[\cmd{\bibliographystyle}\marg{style}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\bibliographystyle}
%    This command can be used anywhere (even several times) in the
%    document to set the default bibliography style \meta{style} for
%    the subsequent \Env{btSect} environments.  Examples for
%    \meta{style} are \Env{plain}, \Env{named}, \Env{agsm} etc. --
%    anything for which there exists a \File{.bst} file. (Note that
%    some bibliography styles are incompatible with each other -- see
%    item~\ref{doc:mixing-styles} on page~\pageref{doc:mixing-styles}
%    for more about this.)  So this command is quite similar to the standard
%    \LaTeX\ command with the same name, only that it
%    can be used several times and that a default \meta{style} (= \Env{plain})
%    is used if it doesn't occur at all.
%    The setting
%    specified by this command can be overridden for specific
%    \Env{btSect}s by using \Env{btSect}'s optional argument \meta{style}.
%
%    \item[\cmd{\bibliography}\marg{bib-files}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\bibliography}
%    This command \emph{cannot} be used together with \ThisPackage; in fact, it is disabled
%    and using it will result in a warning. Instead, use one of the commands \cmd{\btPrintCited},
%    \cmd{\btPrintNotCited} and \cmd{\btPrintAll} together with the \Env{btSect} environment
%    (described below).
%
%    \item[\BTbegEnv{btSect}\oarg{style}\marg{bib-files}]^^A
%    \SpecialEnvIndex{btSect}
%    This is the main environment of \ThisPackage. It serves as a
%    `container' for the commands \Com{btPrintCited},
%    \Com{btPrintNotCited} and \Com{btPrintAll} that actually print
%    the bibliographies. The environment determines the style and the
%    \BibTeX\ source file(s) for these references. Its arguments are:
%  
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item[\meta{style}]
%       optional argument to override the default
%       \Env{bibliographystyle} (see the \Com{bibliographystyle}
%       command) for the scope of the current \Env{btSect}.
%
%    \item[\meta{bib-files}]
%       the filename(s) of the bibliography file(s) from which the
%       references for the current \Env{btSect} are taken. Just as in
%       the standard \Com{bibliography} command of \LaTeX, this
%       argument consists of one filename or a comma-separated list of
%       filenames without the \File{.bib} extension.
%    \end{itemize}
%    \end{UserCommands}
%
%    The following three commands can only be used inside a \Env{btSect} environment.
%    They read the \Env{thebibliography} environment
%    corresponding to the current \meta{bib-files} and print
%    some or all of the entries in it.
%
%    \begin{UserCommands}
%    \item[\cmd{\btPrintCited}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\btPrintCited}
%    Prints all references from \meta{bib-files} that have been cited
%    within the scope of the current \Env{btUnit} environment (or in
%    the entire document, if there is no \Env{btUnit} environment --
%    see the description of the \Env{btUnit} environment below).
%
%    \item[\cmd{\btPrintNotCited}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\btPrintNotCited}
%    Prints all references from \meta{bib-files} for the citations
%    occurring in \meta{bib-files} that have \emph{not} been cited in
%    the current scope.
%
%    \item[\cmd{\btPrintAll}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\btPrintAll}
%    The union of \Com{btPrintCited} and \Com{btPrintNotCited}: prints
%    \emph{all} references from \meta{bib-files}, no matter if they
%    have been cited or not.
%    \end{UserCommands}
%
%    The following environment provides logically independent citation
%    sections, i.\,e. it implements the behaviour you would get from
%    using one of the \Package{chapterbib} or \Package{bibunits}
%    packages (which are incompatible to \ThisPackage).
%
%    \begin{UserCommands}
%    \item[\BTbegEnv{btUnit}]\SpecialEnvIndex{btUnit}\label{doc:btUnit}
%
%    Normally, when you invoke one of the
%    \Com{btPrint\{Cited$\mid$NotCited\}} commands, `cited' means: A
%    reference that has been cited somewhere in the entire document.
%    However, if you enclose a part of your document into the
%    \Env{btUnit} environment, the scope of the citations is
%    narrowed to this environment. This also means that you can have
%    several \Env{btUnit}s containing the same bibliographic reference
%    without getting a \ErrMessage{multiply-defined labels} warning
%    from \LaTeX.
%    An example input file using the \Env{btUnit} environment is shown
%    in figure~\ref{fig:input-btUnit}, p.\,\pageref{fig:input-btUnit}.
%
%    \ImportantNote{When using this environment
%    \emph{all} of your citations have to occur inside some
%    \Env{btUnit}. Citations not in the scope of a \Env{btUnit} won't
%    work at all. Also note that this environment cannot be nested.}

%    \end{figure}
%
%    \end{UserCommands}
%
%    Finally, there's a command for customizing the names of the additional
%    auxiliary files produced by this package -- i.\,e. the \File{.aux} files
%    written by \Env{btSect}, and the \File{.bbl} files produced by
%    running \BibTeX\ on these \File{.aux} files:
%
%    \begin{UserCommands}
%    \item[\cmd{\thebtauxfile}]
%    \mbox{}\SpecialUsageIndex{\thebtauxfile}\label{doc:thebtauxfile}^^A
%    The default definition of this command in \ThisPackage\ looks like this:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \def\thebtauxfile{\jobname\arabic{btauxfile}}
%    \end{verbatim}
%    So the basename of the additional auxiliary files is the
%    basename of the \LaTeX\ file (\Com{jobname}) with a counter
%    \Env{btauxfile} appended for uniqueness. This counter is
%    incremented automatically by each \Env{btSect} environment.  This
%    command may be redefined by the user at any place in the input
%    file; such a redefinition will then hold for all subsequent
%    \Env{btSect} environments.  For example, the \Env{dot} package
%    option redefines \Com{thebtauxfile} to include a dot to separate
%    the filename and the number like this:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \renewcommand{\thebtauxfile}{\jobname.\arabic{btauxfile}}
%    \end{verbatim}
%    Or if you want the package to use uppercase letters instead of
%    digits, you may redefine \Com{thebtauxfile} in your document
%    preamble like this:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \renewcommand{\thebtauxfile}{jobname.\Alph{btauxfile}}
%    \end{verbatim}
%
%    You may also use any descriptive name for \Com{thebtauxfile}; but
%    note that if you don't use the built-in counter \Env{btauxfile},
%    you should double-check that each \Com{thebtauxfile} (for every
%    \Env{btSect}) does have a unique name; otherwise, a later
%    auxiliary file with the same name as the current one would overwrite
%    its contents, and \Package{bibtopic} wouldn't work properly.
%
%    \begin{BackgroundNote}
%    Also note that virtually any naming scheme may cause conflicts
%    with existing \File{.aux} files --
%    e.\,g., \Package{bibtopic} will produce \File{foo1.aux} from
%    \File{foo.tex}; if there also exists another file named
%    \File{foo1.tex}, there is a name clash between the regular \File{.aux}
%    file and the \Package{bibtopic} file. However, this will probably
%    only lead to serious problems when you're \LaTeX ing the files
%    \File{foo.tex} and \File{foo1.tex} at the same time, since \TeX\
%    doesn't lock its auxiliar files, and simultaneous
%    read\slash write operations to the same file may cause a major mess.
%    \end{BackgroundNote}
%
%
%    \end{UserCommands}
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \subsection{Package Options}\label{sec:options}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    Here is an alphabetical list of all the options of \ThisPackage:
%
%    \begin{description}
%       
%    \item[\Env{breakcites}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{breakcites} Since the
%       \Package{breakcites} package is not compatible with the \Env{btUnit}
%       definition of \ThisPackage\ (see section~\ref{sec:compatibility}), this
%       option may be used instead of the package to get the same behaviour.
%
%    \item[\Env{defaultbib}]\mbox{}\BTSpecialOptIndex{defaultbib}\label{doc:defaultbib}
%       You should use this option as a workaround for the \ErrMessage{unknown bibliography}
%       error (see item~\ref{doc:unknown-thebibliography} on
%       page~\pageref{doc:unknown-thebibliography}) in case you don't want to use
%       some standard package with a `known' definition such as the standard or KOMA classes
%       or \Package{natbib.sty}.
%       This option will replace the (current) definition of \Env{thebibliography}
%       by some built-in default. In this case, a warning is given
%       since the visual appearance of the bibliography might be different.
%       This option does nothing if a known definition of \Env{thebibliography} is used.
%
%    \item[\Env{dot}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{dot}^^A
%       Changes \Com{thebtauxfile} to include an additional dot between the
%       base file name and the number
%       (\File{foo.1.}\{\File{aux}$\mid$\File{bbl}\} instead of
%       \File{foo1.}\{\File{aux}$\mid$\File{bbl}\}; see the description of the
%       \Com{thebtauxfile} command, p.\,\pageref{doc:thebtauxfile} for
%       details).  This naming scheme was used in the old
%       \Package{bibtopics.sty}, so you may use the \Env{dot} option for full
%       compatibility with the old naming scheme.\footnote{The additional
%       dot was omitted in the current version for compatibility reasons with
%       certain OSes that don't support multiple dots in filenames.}
%
%    \item[\Env{normalwarnings}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{normalwarnings}
%       This option turns off the more eye-catching warning about
%       outdated \BibTeX\ files which is the default for
%       \ThisPackage. Normally, a command sequence triggering these
%       warning messages is appended to the \File{.bbl} files
%       included in the document (so that you can't forget or ignore
%       the warning which will last until you relly rebuild the
%       \File{.bbl} file); if you use this option, warning messages
%       about outdated files (\ErrMessage{Package bibtopic Warning:
%       xyz.bbl may be outdated}) will appear only for one \LaTeX\
%       run, and warnings about nonexistant \File{.bbl} files will
%       look more like the default warnigs (\ErrMessage{Package
%       bibtopic Warning: No file sample1.bbl}).  The \File{.bbl}
%       files are left alone. This option might be used to
%       speed up \LaTeX ing and to save disk space with huge
%       \File{.bbl} Files.
%
%    \item[\Env{overridenumbers/dontoverridenumbers}]^^A
%       \BTSpecialOptIndex{overridenumbers}\label{doc:overridenumbers}^^A
%       \BTSpecialOptIndex{dontoverridenumbers}^^A
%       Some \File{.bst} styles store numbers for the bibliographic
%       items in the optional argument of the \Com{bibitem} command,
%       in conflict with continuous numbering of the \Com{bibitem}s
%       for several \Env{btSect} environments that is the default with
%       \ThisPackage. The package tries to catch this and re-activate
%       its own counter, issuing a warning message. Using this option
%       will disable the overriding behaviour (and the warning).
%
%    \item[\Env{printheadings}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{printheadings}^^A
%       By default, the normal titles\slash headings for the
%       bibliography section (\Com{bibname} or \Com{refname}) are
%       suppressed when using \ThisPackage. Use this option to
%       print the headings as ususal.
%
%    \item[\Env{sectcntreset}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{sectcntreset}
%       Reset the numerical label for the bibliography
%       items for each \Env{btSect} environment to `1'. (The default
%       is continuous numbering.)  \ImportantNote{This makes only
%       sense when having at most one \Com{btPrintCited} command in
%       all your \Env{btSect} environments; otherwise, the citation
%       labels in the document won't be unique any more!} The bad
%       thing is that you will get {\bfseries no warning} from \LaTeX\
%       about \ErrMessage{multiply-defined labels} in this case -- so
%       please use this option with care.
%
%    \item[\Env{slow}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{slow}
%       By default each citation key is saved in the hash table of command sequences
%       so that 
%       it can be checked efficiently by the \Com{btPrint...} commands.
%       However, depending on the \TeX\ implementation, the total number of command
%       sequences may be limited; e.\,g. for teTeX 0.4, the
%       limit is 9500, and in order to raise it, you'd need to recompile the binary.
%       TeTeX versions ${}> 0.9$ allow for setting this limit dynamically, as do
%       most other implementations (MikTeX, fpTeX).
%
%       When using this option, a linear list is used instead the internal hash table;
%       this is slower, but will save hash space.
%
%    ^^A 
%    ^^A NOTE: natbib uses a lot of save stack as well, so expect problems
%    ^^A       when running natbib on huge .bib files (> 1000 entries or so).
%    ^^A 
%
%    \item[\Env{unitcntnoreset}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{unitcntnoreset}
%       With this option, the bibitem counter will not be reset for
%       for different \Env{btUnit}s (the default behaviour is to reset
%       the counter at the beginning of a new \Env{btUnit}).
%
%    \item[\Env{verbose}]\BTSpecialOptIndex{verbose}
%       Give some messages about the \Com{bibliographystyle} used for
%       the current \Env{btSect}, and about \File{.bbl} files being
%       marked as outdated. This may be useful if you get confused about which
%       bibliography style is active at the moment.

%    \subsection{Warnings and error messages}\label{sec:warnings}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%
%    Most of the package-specific warnings should be pretty self-explanatory
%    (such as the warning telling you to rerun \BibTeX\ on certain
%    files). As for error messages, we have tried to include
%    explanatory messages (which can be invoked by typing `\texttt{h}'
%    at the error prompt~`\texttt{?}'); most of them will only occur
%    under rare circumstances, so we won't explain them here.
%    If you get some strange errors that you don't understand, please
%    do also have a look at the section `Bugs and Restrictions',
%    p.\,\pageref{sec:bugs}.
%
%    In what follows, we'll explain some of the more non-obvious warning or
%    error messages that you might encounter.
%
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item \ErrMessage{Rerun to get indentation of bibitems right.}\\
%       When using multiple bibliographies together with a numerical
%       citation style, the item numbering will add up so that the
%       space reserved for the items for each separate bibliography
%       may be too narrow\CodeRef{ (see the implementation section,
%       \Com{bt@adjust@label} }{code:bt@adjust@label}{ for details)}.
%       This will break the left-alignment of the bibliography items.
%       So we count the number of items printed in the bibliographies
%       and use this number to set the items with correct spacing in
%       the next run.  As for all stuff done via the \File{.aux} file,
%       an additional run may be necessary if the information written
%       to the \File{.aux} file differs from previous runs; and this
%       warning just tells you to do this additional run.
%
%    \item \ErrMessage{No appropriate bibitems found for command ... on line ...}\\
%       (probably together with an \ErrMessage{Empty `thebibliography' environment}
%       warning).  This will occur when a \Com{btPrint\dots} command
%       tries to read entries that don't exist at all. This may be caused by
%       \begin{itemize}
%       \item a previous error of some kind (outdated files, e.\,g.); in this case,
%           just rerun \BibTeX\slash\LaTeX, and the warnings will disappear.
%       \item having included a \Com{btPrintCited} command for a bibliography file
%           from which you didn't cite anything at all, or a \Com{btPrintNotCited} command for a
%           bibliography all references of which had been cited.
%           The command name and the line number included in
%           the warning message should help you with pinpointing the command
%           that caused this warning.
%           The \File{.dvi} file will just contain an empty space where you
%           would expect the bibliography; so having separate headings for each
%           of the bibliographies should help locating the erroneous command, too.
%       \item a \Env{thebibliography} enviroment using an unknown kind of
%           \Com{bibitem}s (see also section~\ref{sec:compatibility}
%           about compatibility with other packages).  You should try
%           to switch to another bibliography style in this case (or
%           tell us of the incompatibility, if you really want to use
%           the same style).
%       \end{itemize}
%
%    \item \ErrMessage{Found unknown thebibliography environment.}\\
%       \label{doc:unknown-thebibliography}^^A
%       This message means that the documentclass or some package used in your
%       document provides a definition of the
%       \Env{thebibliography} environment that \ThisPackage\ cannot handle
%       (it has to change the headings, and, more important, parse the
%       \Com{bibitem}s).
%       The definition is evaluated as late as possible, at the beginning
%       of the \Env{btSect} environment; so any package in the preamble
%       can influence the definition, regardless if it's loaded before or
%       after \ThisPackage.
%       Probably the best solution for this problem is to use a `knonw' bibliography
%       style (the default or the KOMA classes, or \Package{natbib.sty} should all work).
%       If you can't do this,
%       you can try to use the \Env{defaultbib} option that will replace the
%       offending definition with a built-in default (but it will warn you
%       that such a replacement has happened, since the formatting could
%       be different from what you would get without that option; see the description of the
%       option on page~\pageref{doc:defaultbib} for more on this).
%
%    \item \ErrMessage{LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.}\\
%       With the default referencing
%       mechanism, you may get this warning when there have been
%       changes in the bibliography; but in this case, the warning is always
%       followed by another \LaTeX\ warning saying
%       \ErrMessage{Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get
%       cross-references right}.\footnote{So whenever this second
%       warning does not show up, you know that you have indeed
%       undefined references in your document.} However, when you use
%       the \Env{btUnit} environment \emph{without} using natbib at the same time,
%       this second warning message won't show up (it will be suppressed
%       by the definitions that prevent `multiple label' warnings). This means
%       that it's best to rerun \LaTeX\ anyway to see if this warning
%       message disappears. If it doesn't, then you'll have indeed
%       undefined references in your document.
%    \end{enumerate}

% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \subsection{Obsolete Commands}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \begin{BackgroundNote}
%    The commands described in this section were part of the user
%    interface of former versions of \Package{bibunits.sty}. Since these
%    versions are no longer officially supported, we strongly suggest that you
%    don't use these commands for new documents: They don't share some
%    of the features of the new commands and are provided for backward
%    compatibility only.  The descriptions here are intended mainly to help you
%    with replacing them with the new commands.  \end{BackgroundNote}
%
%    \begin{description}
%    \item[\normalfont\BTbegEnv{bibunit}\oarg{style}]\SpecialEnvIndex{bibunit}
%    Somewhat similar to \Com{btSect}, but the bibliography had to be
%    specified by the \Com{putbib} command (which in itself is no
%    longer supported, since it had been used exclusively in this
%    environment).  The actual bibliography was produced with a
%    \Com{nocite\Obr*\Cbr} command inside the environment, so the full
%    syntax was:\medskip
%
%    {\footnotesize\begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%    \BTbegEnv{bibunit}\oarg{style}                     \\
%    \Com{nocite}\Obr\Env{*}\Cbr                        \\
%    \Com{putbib}\oarg{bib-files}                       \\
%    \BTendEnv{bibunit}
%    \end{tabular}}\medskip
%
%    Instead of using these commands, you may now use the \Com{btSect}
%    environment like this:\medskip
%
%    {\footnotesize\begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%    \BTbegEnv{btSect}\oarg{style}\marg{bib-files}        \\
%    \Com{btPrintAll}                                     \\
%    \BTendEnv{btSect}                                    \\
%    \end{tabular}}
%
%    \item[\normalfont\cmd{\putbib}\oarg{style}]
%    See the \Env{bibunit} environment.
%
%    \item[\normalfont\BTbegEnv{bibtopics}\marg{style}\marg{bib-files}]\SpecialEnvIndex{bibtopics}
%    This command was an alias for the \Env{bibunit} environment above:\medskip
%
%    {\footnotesize\begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%    \BTbegEnv{bibunit}\oarg{style}       \\
%    \Com{nocite}\Obr\Env{*}\Cbr                        \\
%    \Com{putbib}\oarg{bib-files}                       \\
%    \BTendEnv{bibunit}
%    \end{tabular}}\medskip
%
%    It can be replaced with a \Env{btSect} as shown above.
%    \end{description}

%^^A This probably serves no real purpose at all ...

%^^A     \subsection[Referencing bibliography sections (experimental)]{Commands
%^^A            for referencing bibliography sections\\ (experimental)}
%^^A  ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%^^A 
%^^A     When you use a named style and you have huge bibliography
%^^A     sections, it may be helpful for the reader to know in which
%^^A     section he should look for the actual reference. You may want to
%^^A     incorporate the section reference directly into the citation, or
%^^A     refer to it before or after printing the citation label.  For
%^^A     these cases, a special command is provided that sets the command
%^^A     \Com{btretval} to the reference key of the section containing
%^^A     \meta{author-key}:
%^^A     \begin{description}
%^^A     \item[\normalfont\cmd{\btGetVal}\marg{author-key}]\SpecialUsageIndex{\btGetVal}
%^^A     \end{description}
%^^A  ^^A
%^^A     After calling this command, the command sequence \Com{btretval} will
%^^A     contain the value of the section label in which the reference for
%^^A     \meta{author-key} had been produced (by some \Com{btPrint\dots} command).
%^^A     This section label is
%^^A     automatically produced by the \Com{btPrint\dots} commands;
%^^A     the section itself should have
%^^A     been produced by using some \Com{section} command inside the \Env{btSect}
%^^A     environment (see the example in figure~\ref{fig:input}).
%^^A     The value contained in \Com{btretval} may then be used to produce
%^^A     a reference as usual, e.\,g.:
%^^A     \begin{verbatim}
%^^A     \ref{\btretval} % or \pageref{\btretval}
%^^A     \end{verbatim}
%^^A     (You could also use \Com{titleref} command from \Package{titleref.sty}
%^^A     to produce references to the section titles themselves.)
%^^A 
%^^A     For the time being, there is just one user-level frontend to these 
%^^A     commands; it's quite easy to define your own ones along the lines of this
%^^A     example.
%^^A     \DescribeMacro{\btCiteSect}\SpecialUsageIndex{\btCiteSect}
%^^A     The command \Com{btCiteSect}
%^^A     gets the label for citation key |#1| and uses it along with a
%^^A     \Com{cite} command. For the example document in figure~\ref{fig:output},
%^^A     using the command like this:
%^^A     \begin{verbatim}
%^^A     ... see, e.\,g. \btCiteSect{ColBenh:93} ...
%^^A     \end{verbatim}
%^^A     would produce the output:\bigskip
%^^A 
%^^A     \dots\ see, e.\,g. \cite{ColBenh:93} (section~1)\dots\bigskip
%^^A 
%^^A     \noindent since the reference from the book by Benhamou and Colmerauer had
%^^A     been printed in the references section~1.
%^^A 
%^^A     This command is simply defined as:
%^^A     \begin{verbatim}
%^^A     \DeclareRobustCommand\btCiteSect[1]{%
%^^A        \btGetVal{#1}%
%^^A        \cite{#1} (section~\ref{\btretval})%
%^^A     }
%^^A     \end{verbatim}
%^^A     and can be easily adopted for other purposes.  Fancier
%^^A     solutions could be implemented using the first optional argument
%^^A     of \Package{natbib}'s \Com{cite} command; this way, the reference
%^^A     could be integrated into the citation command itself.
%
%^^A     \begin{BackgroundNote}
%^^A     This feature is still considered experimental, since (as you
%^^A     may have gathered from the above description) the user
%^^A     interface lacks some elegance \texttt{;-)}.  The reason for this is that
%^^A     the commands that actually fetch the value of the label for those
%^^A     citation keys are not fully expandable\footnote{Because we use
%^^A     lists for the key-value pairs, we have to work with \cmd{\def}s
%^^A     inside these commands. On the other hand, it seemed to us that
%^^A     setting up labels as it is usually done in \LaTeX\ (by defining
%^^A     command names) could use up too much of \TeX's string pool (which
%^^A     is quite limited on most implementations) for huge
%^^A     bibliographies, so we preferred the solution with lists.}, so we
%^^A     don't have a command that can be called \emph{inside} a \Com{ref}
%^^A     command (expanding to a valid label), which would probably be
%^^A     more convenient for the user; hence the roundabout way with
%^^A     \Com{btretval}.
%^^A     \end{BackgroundNote}
%
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \section{Additional .aux files}\label{sec:aux-files}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%
%    For bookkeeping purposes, \ThisPackage\ creates up to two extra files (apart
%    from the files for each \Env{btSect}):
%    \File{btaux.aux} and \File{btbbl.aux}. The names have been chosen
%    to minimize conflicts with existing (possibly important) user files;
%    to further reduce this danger, \ThisPackage\ adds a short `signature line'
%    (a comment) at the beginning of these files when writing them,
%    and checks for the presence of this line before overwriting a file.
%    If the file is non-empty, but the signature isn't found, an error is raised:
%    \ErrMessage{file ... not written by bibtopic}.
%    In this case, please check whether the file contains anything
%    important, and if so, copy it to a safe place before continuing.
%    (Alternatively, you could also rename the file, or move it to a place where \TeX\
%    can't find it.)
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \section{Compatibility with other packages}\label{sec:compatibility}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    
%    The package has been tested with current versions of the
%    \textsc{KOMA} classes and current versions of
%    \Package{natbib.sty}.\footnote{For \textsc{KOMA} and \Package{natbib.sty},
%    the versions tested were 2.5c to 2.9 and 6.8c to 7.0, respectively.}
%    Note that just like \ThisPackage\ disables the usual bibliography section
%    headings, it will also disable the `hooks' provided by some packages\slash classes,
%    e.g. for adding introductory or `preamble' text to the bibliography (e.g. \Com{bibpreamble}
%    in \Package{natbib.sty} and current versions of \textsc{KOMA}). Instead
%    of using these hooks, such text should be written directly inside the
%    \Env{btSect} environment.
%    
%    In principle, \ThisPackage\ should work with any
%    document class or bibliography style, but there are some
%    restrictions/exceptions:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item \Package{chapterbib.sty}, \Package{bibunits.sty}: These packages
%       implement multiple, logically independent bibliographies.
%       Since they do somewhat similar things (and work on the same
%       commands) as \ThisPackage, they are both incompatible with
%       it. The \Env{btUnit} environment should provide a similar
%       functionality, so use this environment instead.
%    \item \Package{hyperref.sty}:
%       When \Package{hyperref}'s \Env{backref} option
%       is used, \ThisPackage\ has to be loaded \emph{after} hyperref.
%       (The user is warned if this is not the case.)
%       The \Env{backref} option loads the package \Package{backref.sty}, and
%       \ThisPackage\ has been tested with \Package{backref.sty} versions
%       1.16 to 1.19 (1999/04/12--2000/01/19).
%    \item Packages redefining the \Env{thebibliography} environment in a
%       non-standard way: These definitions may cause the parsing
%       mechanism of the \Com{bibitems} to fail.  See the discussion
%       of the \ErrMessage{unknown bibliography} error message
%       (item~\ref{doc:unknown-thebibliography} on
%       page~\pageref{doc:unknown-thebibliography}) and the \Env{defaultbib}
%       option (page~\pageref{doc:defaultbib}) for more about this.
%    \item Packages redefining the \Com{@citex} command (like, e.\,g.
%       \Package{breakcites}) won't work together with \ThisPackage\
%       when the \Env{btUnit} environment is used. Since \ThisPackage\
%       redefines \Com{@citex} as late as possible (inside \Env{btUnit}),
%       it's most likely that the definitions of the other packages will
%       be overwritten.  The case with \Package{breakcites.sty} is dealt
%       with by the \Env{breakcites} option; if you observe this
%       behaviour with other important packages, please email us about
%       them.
%    \item Packages or \File{.bst} styles using non-standard names for
%       bibliography items (other than \Com{bibitem} or
%       \Com{harvarditem}). In this case, parsing the \Com{bibitem}s
%       will also fail, and will result in an empty bibliography.
%       These cases would have to be treated
%       explicitly inside \ThisPackage, so if you know of important
%       packages that have these non-standard item commands, please email us about
%       them.
%    \item \Package{harvard.sty}: We withdrew compatibility with this package
%       in favour of the current versions of \Package{natbib.sty}
%       which has just the same features; so use \Package{natbib} instead.
%    \item
%       Some \File{.bst}-Styles for numerical styles (e.g.
%       \File{plaindin.bst} by K.\,F.\,Lorenzen) incorporate the item number into the
%       optional argument of \Com{bibitem}; hence, the internal
%       counter won't be used and \ThisPackage\ would not be able to
%       manipulate the counter for continuous numbering.  \ThisPackage\
%       tries to recover in this case by ignoring the optional numerical
%       argument and giving a warning.
%       This warning can be turned off by using
%       one of the package options \Env{overridenumbers} or
%       \Env{dontoverridenumbers} (see
%       p.\,\pageref{doc:overridenumbers} above).\footnote{Another
%       possibility is to change the output function of the
%       \File{.bst} file; see the source file \File{bibtopic.dtx},
%       lines~\the\inputlineno ff. for an example.}
%    \end{itemize}

%    \section{Bugs and Restrictions}\label{sec:bugs}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    
%    
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item
%       \BibTeX's cross-referencing doesn't work between items in different
%       \Env{btSect}s. Since \BibTeX\ is run separately on the files corresponding
%       to different \Env{btSect}s, it won't be able to resolve the cross-reference.
%
%    \item
%       When the bibliography files have several items with the same author and 
%       the same year, they are tagged with `a', `b', `c' etc. extensions even if
%       not all of them are cited.
%       When the bibliography is printed with \Com{btPrintCited}, funny 
%       effects might occur, e.g. a bibliography where only a `b' item is shown.
%
%    \item
%       \ThisPackage\ doesn't work with the `unsorted' citation
%       styles\label{sec:unsorted} such as \File{unsrt} or
%       \File{unsrtdin}.\footnote{^^A
%       \ThisPackage\ writes global \Com{citation}\Obr\Env{*}\Cbr\
%       commands to its additional \File{.aux} files: When
%       constructing the \File{.aux} file we don't know in which of
%       the possibly several \File{.bib} files some citation will
%       occur. So since there are no specific \Com{citation} commands
%       in the (additional) \File{.aux} files, \BibTeX\ can only apply
%       author-year sorting or print the items in the order they
%       appear in the \File{.bib} file.} Use the package
%       \Package{multibib.sty} instead (see also section~\ref{sec:related-packages}).
%    
%    \item
%       \ThisPackage\ is case sensitive, while \BibTeX\ isn't. That means that
%       while \BibTeX\ treats a \File{.bib} entry like:\par
%       \begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%       |@article{Gnus:98,| \dots\\
%       \end{tabular}\par
%       and a citation |\cite{gnus:98}| as the same key, \ThisPackage\
%       treats them as different keys, and you will get an
%       \ErrMessage{undefined reference} error for the citation command.\footnote{The reason
%       for this restriction is that \BibTeX\ reads the
%       \Com{citation} labels when reading the \File{.aux} file and
%       writes out the keys for the \Com{bibitem} commands it produces
%       accordingly.  However, bibtopic only writes a
%       \Com{citation}\Obr\Env{*}\Cbr\ to the \File{.aux} file, so
%       \BibTeX\ can't access these labels and therefore has to use
%       the spelling from the \File{.bib} file.}
%
%    \item \mbox{}\label{doc:mixing-styles}^^A
%       When mixing several citation styles, it's important to know that
%       numerical citation styles and author-year styles are generally
%       \emph{incompatible} with each other.  This means that the style
%       declared first will always override later re-declarations, since it is
%       globally set at the begin of the document and can't be changed
%       afterwards. Examples for numerical styles in that sense are
%       \Env{plain} and \Env{alpha} (even if the name doesn't sound like it),
%       examples for author-year styles are the `harvard' styles \Env{agsm}
%       and \File{dcu} or the \Env{authordate1-4} style. As for these
%       examples, you may mix \Env{alpha} with \Env{plain}, but not with
%       \Env{agsm} or vice versa.
%
%    \item
%       Having the same reference in several bibliographies in the
%       same \Env{btUnit} (e.\,g., when using both the \Com{btPrintCited}
%       and the \Com{btPrintAll} command to print parts of the same
%       \Env{thebibliography} twice) may lead to problems with
%       labelling:
%       
%       With the numerical or `plain' labelling styles, such multiple
%       references are treated as \emph{different keys}, i.e. they
%       receive different numbers.
%       
%       With \Package{natbib.sty}, things are a bit different: Multiple
%       references will get the same number; but the numbering will
%       have \emph{gaps} since the repeated entries will be assigned the
%       number of the \emph{last} \Com{bibcite} enty of the \File{.aux}
%       file of that repeated entry.  You will also get warnings
%       about \ErrMessage{multiply defined citations}, and the warning
%       \ErrMessage{Rerun to get citations correct} will appear after each
%       \LaTeX\ run.
%       
%       The latter problem can be avoided by switching to alphabetical or
%       author-year styles, but the warnings about \ErrMessage{multiply
%       defined citations} will remain. To get rid of these, you would need
%       to use \Env{btUnit}s and put the \Com{btPrintAll} and the
%       \Com{btPrintCited} command into different \Env{btUnit}s (see
%       figure~\ref{fig:input-btUnit} on page~\pageref{fig:input-btUnit}
%       for an example).
%
%
%^^A     \item 
%^^A     Sometimes, \BibTeX\ is putting \Com{newcommand}s into the
%^^A     \File{.bbl} file; if you input such a file several times, \LaTeX\
%^^A     will give the error message \ErrMessage{Command xyz already
%^^A     defined}. Currently the only workaround is to change the
%^^A     \Com{newcommand} manually to a \Com{renewcommand} or (even
%^^A     better) to a \Com{providecommand} in the \File{bbl} file.
%
%    \item
%       Switching from one bibliographic style file to another may cause
%       compiling errors (due to the outdated \File{.aux} and \File{.bbl}
%       files). Try to make \LaTeX\ ignore these errors by
%       responding~`\texttt{r}' after the help prompt~`\texttt{?}' (don't
%       quit with~`\texttt{x}', because you want the \File{.aux} file to
%       be regenerated); if all fails, delete the \File{.aux} and
%       \File{.bbl} files before the next \LaTeX\ run.
%
%    \item
%       Brackets in the \File{.bib} file: The brackets `\Env{[]}' are
%       special to \LaTeX\ in that they denote the bounds of an optional
%       argument, and \Com{bibitem} uses such an optional argument
%       for the item labels.  Therefore using brackets `\Env{[...]}'  in
%       a \File{.bib} file entry which is used for sorting may mangle
%       the \Com{bibitem} command.  In this case, hide the brackets from
%       \LaTeX\ by enclosing them in another pair of braces, like this:
%       `\verb|{[...]}|'. (\ThisPackage\ will try to detect such misleading
%       brackets an warn you about them.)
%    \end{enumerate}
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \section{If you're not a user of \BibTeX\ \dots}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    
%    \dots\ (which would be a pity, though), the feature of
%    selecting only those items actually cited in the document might
%    come in handy: All you'll have to do is provide a sorted
%    \Env{thebibliography}, and \ThisPackage\ will be able to select
%    the needed citations.  The
%    easiest way to use this is to put your \Env{thebibliography}
%    environment into a separate file (call it \File{mybib.bbl}) that
%    can be included using the standard \Env{btSect} environment like,
%    e.\,g.:
%    
%    {\footnotesize
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \renewcommand{\thebtauxfile}{mybib}
%    \begin{btSect}{}
%    \btPrintCited
%    \end{btSect}
%    \end{verbatim}}
%  ^^A    
%    In this case, the second argument of \Env{btSect} serves no
%    purpose and may as well be left blank. It'll be also a good
%    idea to turn off persistent warnings from \ThisPackage\ by using
%    the \Env{normalwarnings} option -- else, an additional `warning
%    line' might be appended to your \File{mybib.bbl} in the first
%    \LaTeX\ run: \ThisPackage\ will realize that the \File{.aux} file
%    has changed\CodeRef{ (see the implementation section,
%    \Com{bt@cmp} }{code:bt@if@files@differ}{ for details)}, and it will tell you
%    to rerun \BibTeX\ to update your \File{.bbl} File. {\bfseries
%    Don't do that:} Running \BibTeX\ as advertised would overwrite
%    your handwritten \File{.bbl} file with an \emph{empty}
%    bibliography!  With the \Env{normalwarnings} option, this message
%    won't occur; otherwise, you'd have to delete the `warning' line
%    from \File{mybib.bbl} manually in order to get rid of these
%    recurrent warnings.
%
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \section[Other useful tools]{Other tools that might be useful with\\ \ThisPackage}\label{sec:tools}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%
%    You'll probably need to split up your exitsting \File{.bib}
%    file(s) when switching to \ThisPackage. This section lists
%    some utilities that might be useful for this task. Some of these
%    tools can be used for other purposes, too -- like sorting,
%    merging, consistency checks, automatic key generation etc.; but
%    here we'll concentrate on the extraction issue only.
%
%    Note that if you want to keep all your references together in one
%    master \File{.bib} file, you can always use a dummy attribute
%    that will be ignored by \BibTeX\ but may be used as a key for
%    selecting entries with one of the tools mentioned here.
%    
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item
%       \textsc{BibTool} (available as C source code on CTAN:
%       \url{biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/}).  It allows you to
%       specify regular expressions for extracting entries from a
%       \File{.bib} file.  For example, the following command extracts
%       all `online documents' (items containing the string
%       \Env{http:} or \Env{ftp:} in any field) from \File{mybib.bib}
%       and writes them to a newly created bibliography file
%       \File{online.bib} (the single quotes are needed with some Unix
%       shells to prevent unwanted expansion of braces):\par
%       \begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%       |bibtool -- 'select{"[hf]t?tp:"}' mybib.bib -o online.bib|
%       \end{tabular}
%    \item
%       btOOL (C\slash Perl library, available from:
%       \url{biblio/bibtex/utils/btOOL/}; more documentation can be
%       obtained from the author's home page:
%       \url{http://starship.python.net/~gward/btOOL/}).  A powerful
%       library for writing Perl scripts that manipulate \File{.bib}
%       files. Very flexible, but requires Perl programming skills.
%    \item
%       \File{bibextract} (shell and awk scripts, available from:
%       \url{biblio/bibtex/utils/bibextract/}).  Similar to
%       \textsc{BibTool}, it lets you use regular expressions to extract
%       entries from a \File{.bib} file. With \File{bibextract}, the
%       example above would look like this:\par
%       \begin{tabular}{@{}l}
%       |bibextract "" "[hf]t?tp:" mybib.bib > online.bib|
%       \end{tabular}
%    \end{itemize}
%

%    \section{Related Packages}\label{sec:related-packages}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%
%    There are several packages with a similar purpose as \ThisPackage:
%    
%    \begin{description}
%    \item[\Package{multibib.sty}:] This package provides similar
%    functionality as \Package{bibtopic}, but with a different approach
%    for the user interface: Instead of splitting up the \File{.bib} files,
%    you use different, bibliography-specific citation commands.
%    In contrast to \ThisPackage,
%    \Package{multibib.sty} can also deal with `\texttt{unsorted}'
%    bibliography styles  (see page~\pageref{sec:unsorted} above).
%
%    \item[\Package{chapterbib.sty}, \Package{bibunits.sty}:]
%    These provide multiple bibliographies as well;
%    the main difference is that with these packages different
%    parts of a document can have their own dedicated bibliography
%    which is independent from the other bibliographies, whereas
%    \Package{bibtopic}\slash\Package{multibib}
%    provide a global bibliography divided into
%    sections.
%
%    \item[\Package{Camel}:]
%    Along with many powerful additional features, this larger package also
%    contains macros for sectioned bibliographies; the
%    user interface is quite different from standard
%    \LaTeX\ (e.\,g., the \Com{cite} command is replaced by a
%    \Com{source} command).
%    \end{description}

%
%    Some conventions: All commands in this package use the prefix `\Env{bt}' to identify them
%    as belonging to \ThisPackage. Internal commands are prefixed with
%    `\Env{\mbox{bt@}}'; ^^A don't hyphenate this one ...
%    user interface commands use mixed upper-/lowercase letters.
%    (After the fact I heard these were reserved for the \LaTeX\ API, so maybe
%    this wasn't such a brilliant idea after all. It's too late to change it now,
%    however ...)
%     Numbers in square brackets
%    (like `\ShowCodeRef{136}') refer to the line numbers on the left margin.
%
%    Parts tagged with the \Module{debug} flag are included in debugging
%    versions only; production versions will not contain these parts.

% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    \subsubsection{Counters etc.}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%
%    Since \TeX\ is notoriously short of count registers, most of the counters used
%    are no real counters, but command sequences holding integer values.
%    Here's a command to globally increment such a fake counter:
%    \begin{macro}{\bt@stepcnt}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bt@stepcnt[1]{%
     \@tempcnta#1
     \advance\@tempcnta\@ne
     \protected@xdef#1{\the\@tempcnta}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
% ^^A
%    This is the only `real' counter: \Env{btauxfile} is the current number of the
%    \Env{btSect} environment; the representation \Com{thebtauxfile} is the full basename
%    of the \File{.aux} and {.bbl} files to be used. (It's a real counter to make it
%    easier for users to redefine \Com{thebtauxfile}.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcounter{btauxfile}
\def\thebtauxfile{\jobname\arabic{btauxfile}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    To produce more than one citation list (if there's more than one \Env{btUnit}),
%    \Com{bt@unit@cnt} is appended to the listname \Com{bt@sect} (see the command
%    \Com{reset@bt@sect}). It is initialized with 1 here:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bt@unit@cnt{1}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Numbering used for the labeling commands by the keyval stuff:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bt@internal@sect@cnt{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Number of all bibitems seen so far (possibly in sevaral
%    \Env{btUnit}s):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bt@helpctr{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Total number of bibitems in \emph{all} bibliographies,
%    read from the \File{.aux} file:

%    \subsubsection[\texttt{thebibliography}; parsing the \texttt{bibitem} commands]{Redefinition of
%       \Env{thebibliography}\\ and parsing the \Com{bibitem} commands}
% ^^A --------------------------------------------------
%    
%    We'd like to be able to print only selected \Com{bibitem}s (e.\,g., those cited, or
%    those not cited). To select these, we make the \Com{bibitem} command fake an environment
%    that contains the entire item, so that it's easy to ignore its contents entirely.
%    That is, a \Env{thebibliography} environment like the following:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{thebibliography}{10}
%    \bibitem[a] foo
%    \bibitem[b] bar
%    \bibitem[c] roo
%    \end{thebibliography}
%    \end{verbatim}
%    shall expand to:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{thebibliography}{10}
%    \begin{myitem}[]
%    \end{myitem}
%    \begin{myitem}[a]
%    foo
%    \end{myitem}
%    \begin{myitem}[b]
%    bar
%    \end{myitem}
%    \begin{myitem}[c]
%    roo
%    \end{myitem}
%    \begin{myitem}[]
%    \end{myitem}
%    \end{thebibliography}
%    \end{verbatim}
% ^^A   
%    Note the empty \Env{myitem} environments after
%    \BTbegEnv{thebibliography} and before
%    \BTendEnv{thebibliography}, respectively: These are needed since
%    \Com{bibitem}\oarg{arg} is defined as
%    \BTendEnv{myitem}\BTbegEnv{myitem}\oarg{arg}.^^A
%    \footnote{Yes, this \emph{is} strange, but it seems to work -- contrary to
%    the other schemes I tried before (looking for certain characters
%    in the input, reading over stuff etc.) If you have a better idea,
%    please \emph{do} tell me about it!}
%    The missing \BTbegEnv{myitem} will be inserted by the
%    redefined \BTbegEnv{thebibliography} just after
%    the usual \Com{begin} code, and the missing \BTendEnv{myitem}

%    The following command for changing \Env{thebibliography}

%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item
%       (optionally) remove the headings from \Env{thebibliography}
%       (user will set his own with the ordinary sectioning commands),
%    \item
%       (optionally) remove the reset of the bibitem counter for numerical citation styles,
%    \item
%       call the \Com{bt@item} command immediately after opening \Com{thebibliography},
%       and the \Com{endbt@item} command before closing \Com{thebibliography}.
%       This might be requested only conditionally (wouldn't need it for \Com{btPrintAll}
%       -- currenlty it's just always used), so we use the hooks
%       \Com{bt@beg@thb@hook} and \Com{bt@end@thb@hook} that are set up 
%       by calling \Com{bt@change@bibitem}.
%    \end{itemize}
%    We check what kind of \Env{thebibliography} environment we're dealing with, and
%    call the appropriate command to do the changes: \Com{bt@mydochangechange@nat@thb},

%    \subsubsection{Keyval stuff (experimental)}
% ^^A ------------------------------------------------------------
% 
%    The name `keyval lists' could be misleading, since the
%    list may contain a `key' several times (with different values).
%    The `key' is just the citation key of the reference, and the
%    value is the section label where its reference has been printed.
%    Example:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \@elt {ColBenh:93}{Sec:4}\@elt {RouxSmart:95}{Sec:2}
%    \@elt {Munt:93}{Sec:1}\@elt {ColBenh:93}{Sec:1}
%    \end{verbatim}
%    
%    \begin{macro}{\bt@old@keyval@list}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\bt@keyval@list{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}

%    \begin{macro}{\bt@kv@add}
%    Add the key-value pair |#1|-|#2| to the list \Com{bt@old@keyval@list};
%    |#1| is the author key, |#2| the section label. We add this to
%    the list in the form \Com{@elt}|{#1}||{#2}|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\bt@kv@add[2]{%
    \protected@edef\bt@tempa{\bt@keyval@list}%
    \protected@xdef\bt@keyval@list{\noexpand\@elt{#1}{#2}\bt@tempa}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}

%    \begin{macro}{\btCiteSect}
%    Here's an example for a user-defined command as a
%    front end the \Com{btGetVal} command: Get the label for
%    citation key |#1|, and use it along with
%    a \Com{cite} command:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*\btCiteSect[1]{%
    \btGetVal{#1}%
    \cite{#1} (section\nobreakspace{}\ref{\btretval})%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}

%    \begin{macro}{\btRef}
%    Another possiblility for a user command:
%    Prints the label |#1| as a reference of type |#2|;
%    e.\,g.: \Com{btRef}|{Smith:69}||{\pageref}|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*\btRef[2]{%
    % get section label of #1 from \bt@keyval@list
    % reference type is #2
    \ifx\bt@keyval@list\@undefined
        {\bfseries{???}}%
    \else
        \bt@get@keyval{#1}{\bt@keyval@list}%
        #2{\btretval}%
    \fi
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}

%    \begin{macro}{\btGetVal}
%    Sets \Com{btretval}, for later use
%    use like, e.g.:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \cite{foo}\btGetVal{foo}
%    (\ref{\btretval}, {\itshape\titleref{\btretval}}).
%    \end{verbatim}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*\btGetVal[1]{%
    \bt@get@keyval{#1}{\bt@keyval@list}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%    \begin{macro}{\bt@print@keyvals}
%    |#1| is a list of `keys', |#2| is the value (bib section of the bibitem
%    corresponding to `key').  We write the key-value pairs wrapped into a
%    command (\Com{bt@keyval@add}) to the .aux file; this command will build up
%    a new list in the next run.  Note that values could be written twice if
%    the user has used `positive' and `all' citation lists for the same
%    bibliography. Currently, the command \Com{bt@get@keyval} will 
%    return only the value of the first key found.
