"""
Cite the references contained in a pybliographer database (a bip
file).
Usage: bipcite.py <BIP file> <output>
If <output> is the string 'OOo', try to cite in a running OpenOffice
document. If it is 'LyX', it connects to a running instance of
Lyx. Otherwise, cite into the specified file, in HTML.
OpenOffice must be started with the following option:
oowriter '-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;'
LyX must be configured to create named pipes called:
~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in
~/.lyx/lyxpipe.out
