Tame the Beast  by Nicolas Markey

bst files are beasts because they work in reverse Polish notation like the
old HP pocket calculators and with a stack. Hacking bst files is like going
into a time machine to the (un)happy rainy days, when you were a teenager
trying to program something in Forth on your ZX Spectrum. 

There is a new bibliographical package biblatex that seems to be more
flexible than jurabib and does not need bst files but it is not as stable
and mature than jurabib.

Cheers,
Charles
