I thought something like this may exist but it is not
uncommon to be better off writing my own similiars.
Now I can see what I missed :) 
Right now, my c++ code probably does a lot of similar things including
integrating my comments into the bibentry when the script did not
insert a url already ( the script did usually include the page
I was looking at and the url it finally found for the bibtex).

I did get caught up on a lot of wierd things in the hunt for
bugs- like assuming page numbers need to be numeric- but
I'm getting a better idea of what is going on ( bibliography
is about the last thing I was going to look at but I was getting
so many and had the scripts started I needed to sanity check to
avoid being unable to find a reference later ).

Thanks.
