And just to do justice to John, by 'crude' I only mean in comparison
to the final output of the real Latex.  I was amazed that John got
this to work at all, given how tricky the problem can be and how he
was also developing the rest of mpl at the same time.  So by all
means, if you intend to work on this, I think the mathtext code in mpl
should be your first stop.
