I added a file test/example.org.  Put bibeltex.el somewhere in your load-path 
and require it.  This should be enough to make it work (use unload-feature to 
remove it again).

You can then export the document to any format you like.  Good test case is 
using org-mode export (ox-org.el).

Certainly.  BibELTeX is designed to do this.  For LaTeX export it just 
generates the corresponding LaTeX instructions (can be adopted even for 
biblatex).

But except for LaTeX there doesn't seem to be a real support for bibliography.  
It can be simulated for html using bibtex2html (ox-bibtex.el).  But even that 
is not compatible with biber/biblatex.  That's the reason behind BibELTeX.
