Upgrade StorageBug in MathSciNet translator
The translator tries to build a string like http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/search/publications.html?fmt=bibtex&b=1234567 to fetch BibTeX output.
The bug is in the line:
pub += "&b="+MR.substr(2);
which converts "MR1234567" to "1234567". However, the code should read:
ub += "&b="+MR.replace( /^MR0*/, "" );
since MathSciNet expects, AFAICT, leading zeros to be removed. This is relevant only for older reviews.
Unrelated feature request/suggestion: Storing the PDF-version of a review would be a lot prettier in most cases...

SimonI have made this change, and it should be pushed out to the translator repository very soon. Thank you for your help.
