bib macro flub and fix

If you use lists of authors' names for BIB reference keys, the references
won't dump properly.  The trouble lies in how the bib macros handle the
reference string, \*([F.  It's passed to .IP without being quoted, which
bombs when [F contains more than one word.

The fix is to quote the first argument to .IP in the bib macro files in
/usr/lib/bmac.  Also in your personal style files if you use any.  (Mine
go to great lengths to put the commas inside the quote marks!)
