ok, and once again i underestimate emacs. ;-) thanks for the hint, it works
beautifully.

for those who need it, add the above line to the function
ebib-find-bibtex-entries, directly after the documentation string:

#v+

(defun ebib-find-bibtex-entries ()
  "Finds the BibTeX entries in the current buffer.

The search is started at the beginnig of the buffer. All entries found are
stored in the hash table DATABASE of EBIB-CUR-DB. Returns a three-element
list: the first elements is the number of entries found, the second the
number of @STRING definitions, and the third is T or NIL, indicating
whether a @PREAMBLE was found."
  (modify-syntax-entry ?\" "w")
  (let ((n-entries 0)
	(n-strings 0)
	(preamble nil))
...

#v-

i assume (but correct me if i'm wrong) that bibtex only allows this
notation if the field value is written in {}, not when it's written in
"". i know for a fact that ebib will get confused in the latter case...
