I used parts of this script to hack a tex2mail replacement. It isn't
more than a collection of regular expression substitutions which is to
be used as a post-processing filter of bib2ris output. I've added it
to the subversion repository, but it is not yet included into the
build system. Please test it against your data and modify it as
needed or let me know what else should be covered.

Either update your svn sources, or visit the svn web interface:

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/refdb/refdb/trunk/scripts/refdb_latex2utf8txt?view=log

The script does the following:

- replace foreign characters encoded as {\..} constructs with their
  UTF-8 counterparts

- remove {\xy ...} commands, leaving only the enclosed text

- remove non-escaped curly brackets

- unescape escaped command characters: # $ % & ~ _ ^ \ { }

- convert the LaTeX dashes '--' and '---' to '-'

regards,
Markus
