Some features could be merged, but there is an important difference in that
org-ref uses bibtex as the backend database, and reftex for searching, and
org-bibtex uses org-mode headings as the backend database, and tag/property
searches (I think).  It is like the difference between org-contacts and
bbdb. They both serve similar needs, but with different data sources, and
different ways to think about it.

We might be able to figure out a way to specify a "backend" that would
allow the independent features to work in both though.
