Jürgen, have a medal for clear and simple answers!
The question now becomes
how do I check whether natbib exists (I guess I must parse the output of
chkconfig.ltx or invoke some method that's sone this for me.) I guess that
I'm looking for something like
bool packageExists("natbib");
???
I'd use this method to alter the output of the Citation dialog appropriately.
I'd also use it in InsetCitation::latex to choose whether to output the
natbib-specific citation command or to use the default \cite[]{} command
instead.
Finally, InsetCitation::validate would contain the psuedo-code
{
if (packageExists("natbib") &&
inset uses a natbib-specific citation command) {
features.natbib = true;
}
}
Have I got the right end of this stick?
