Some time ago I had some success in a similar context (writing an

controls the format in which bibtex formats the references that it
outputs). Hope it helps. --Manuel
Unless you like forth, bst programming is not much fun. There is also
e.g. the Text::BibTeX perl module, python-bibtex and probably other
options parsing for the bibtex format.
There is also ebib [1], a bibtex editor for emacs, but I'm not sure if
deals with formatting entries, which is the main issue here.
