Right.

I've whipped up a patch (attached) which seems to work for most cases which are in
debian/upstream already (input/output attached as well).

The following still fail, due to bugs or unusual authors in debian/upstream:

Test string input:  Vullo, Alessandro, and Frasconi, Paolo

(", and" is wrong)

Test string input:  Li, Heng and Handsaker, Bob and Wysoker, Alec and
Fennell, Tim and Ruan, Jue and Homer, Nils and Marth, Gabor and
Abecasis, Goncalo and Durbin, Richard and 1000 Genome Project Data
Processing Subgroup

(well, that's kinda tricky - "1000 Genome Project Data
Processing Subgroup" does not have a "," like the others, so my
heuristics fail)

Test string input:  Michael Hanke and Yaroslav O. Halchenko and Per B.
Sederberg and Stephen Jos{\'e} Hanson and James V. Haxby and Stefan
Pollmann

(Does {\'e} render fine on the web? - the output is otherwise fine)

Test string input:  Van der Spoel D, Lindahl E, Hess B, Groenhof G, Mark
AE, Berendsen HJ
Test string input:  Trapnell C, Williams BA, Pertea G, Mortazavi AM,
Kwan G, van Baren MJ, Salzberg SL, Wold B, Pachter L.

(No "," between last name and first name, no final "and")

Test string input:  Xavier Didelot, Daniel Falush

(no "and", this one breaks on my patch)

Cheers,

Michael
