The regexp in reftex-locate-bibliography-files for matching
`\bibliography{x}' in a LaTeX file fails when `\bibliography{x}' is
surrounded by extra braces like '{\bibliography{x}}'. However, in
certain cases these extra braces are required to make chapterbib.sty
work, see the documentation of chapterbib.sty. As the documentation
of reftex.el says that reftex.el works with chapterbib.sty, I
suggest that the regexp matching in reftex-locate-bibliography-files
should support '{\bibliography{x}}'.

Remark: I really do not understand the purpose of the first
parenthesized part in

"\\(\\`\\|[\n\r]\\)[ \t]*\\\\\\(no\\)?bibliography{[ \t]*\\([^}]+\\)"

Maybe there are situations when something like this is necessary.
But isn't this regexp much too restrictive?
