References via BibTeX

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A feature request for references or citations which are read from BibTeX.  
BibTeX files are fairly straight forward to parse and it is not necessary for 
any external libraries.

The user would have to specify at least two vimwiki variables: one for the 
location of the BibTeX file(s) to use, and another for the format of the 
citation (for the latter, a default can exist, say the "Chicago" style).  There 
could also be predefined citation styles for some of the most popular styles.  
Another variable can be how the citation is displayed: [1] or (1) or 
"Habamax2010" or "Habamax et al.", etc.

To reference a citation, some syntax would have to be introduced: 
<cite>Citation</cite> or @@Citation@@ or something to that effect.  A decision 
would have to be made whether the citations would appear in their own div 
(placeable via a placeholder), whether citations will be appended to the list 
of footnotes (see Issue #143) or whether the user will have the option of 
either of these two possibilities.

Same here!
Maybe vim-pandoc would be a good role model here:
