I applied it to my local version, almost blindly, and it works fine. IMO
it could be included since it's a useful feature, and doesn't seem to have
anything harmful, but I'll check it more carefully.
However I don't think it will be useful for people that use huge
databases. Those still can use an external bibtex browser conected to lyx
by the lyx server.
What do the others think? Any objection to include it to 1.0.2?
