Introducing `bibtox`

After some time using various tools and scripts to format and sort my files of BibTeX/BibLaTeX entries, I finally gave up back in March and wrote one myself – bibtox. This replaced some very nasty combination of server-side Python and in-page CoffeeScript, plus a third-party tool bib2bib I would run on an ad hoc basis.

Per the README, this processes either a stream of entries on stdin or a set of files arranged into sections specified by a simple configuration file. It outputs sorted or unsorted, either as canonicalised entries or marked up HTML.

And it means that, hopefully, finally, my list of publications on this site is consistently formatted and sorted. Completeness is, of course, a process rather than a state so achieving that is left for other times and places.

Issues or pull requests welcome!
