When updating biblio.odb be aware that biblio.odb *does not* embed the data of
the database inside the .odb, instead it is configured to store its data in the
per-user database/biblio/biblio.dbf and database/biblio/biblio.dbt files. i.e.
the contents of the ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio dir.

If you edit biblio.odb in "base" you will really just be changing your local
data store.

So, to really change the bibliography the easiest thing to do is to launch
writer and use tools->bibliography database and edit your local one through
that UI.

Then *copy* ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio/biblio.db* to
extras/source/database/ in order to overwrite biblio.dbf and biblio.dbt and
copy ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio.odb to
extras/source/database/biblio.odb

NOTE: base doesn't seem to "PACK" the dbase III files after editing, so deleted
records still take up space in the file, possibly a bug worth fixing ?
