When I enter conference papers into my BibTeX files, I cross reference
them to the proceedings volume, which has a separate entry.  BibTeX
(C Version 0.99c) then complains

   Warning--need editor, key, or booktitle for XXXX to crossref YYYY

The only fix I know of is to duplicate the proceedings' title field as
a booktitle field, which seems silly.

Is there a better way to use cross references?
