Subject: [PATCH] i18n and graceful sorting for year values 'in press',
 'submitted' and 'accepted'

The sorting mechanism relied solely on strcmp before, which yielded a more or less random result.
It is now possible to define an order as long as the strings in the bibtex file are given in their standard English form.
In output though, the strings are internationalised.
