Have you ever looked at Tib - "a TeX bibliographic preprocessor" by J.C.Alexander (last known email address: jca@lakisis.umd.edu)? It uses a refer-style database rather than bibTeX, so you can just use addbib (with a prompt-file if you want to have all the nifty niceties Tib allows you to have). The tib-package itself consists of tib the preprocessor tibdex the indexmaker tiblist lists the complete database(s) tiblook locate entries It is at least as powerful, and, IMHO, more flexible and "user-friendly" than BibTeX.
