Well, currently there is no support for bibtex. I don't pragma's position
in this, but I guess it makes sense to adapt texutil (or create some other
util),
to include bibtex support. There must be lots of people using bibtex, but I
do not know anyting about that.

You need the program bibtex I guess? I believe bibtex gets the bib-entries
from your
\jobname.bib looks the entries up in a bibtex database, and merges them with
a bibtex style file. It should be fairly easy to adapt texutil to do that.
