I tried file based first but interdependencies in the code seemed to make
it hard. One also has to keep a lot more things in mind about the
peculiarities of the data types involved, the usage of the functions, etc.
For me it's more manageable the other way around, but I'll try.

I understand. However, as I said, I only wanted to set up the task in
savannah to gather advances in this particular thing. What do you think
about committing work as it's done and verified? This is mainly to avoid
conflicts integrating later.

Prepare that list and I'll do my best, although it's not the best moment
for me to do anything requiring more than a commute in the train worth of
time (constref'ing fits perfectly there ;)

This would be *very* good inded. It's very annoying right now.

I did some work on an editor for the bibliography: a widget to select the
file and the style, as well as preview it. But I ran into trouble with the
preview and left it there. I can commit the first part of the work, which
is already better than the automatically built interactive question.

Deadline? And please, do give notice in advance!

I've found a couple of possible leaks related to QPixmaps, but I'm still at
a loss as to what the cause of the recent crashes might be.
