Heh. My thinking/hope there was that if the TeX "core" algorithms could be
reproduced on top of cl-typesetting, past a certain point the LaTeX packages
would start to work "as-is" on top of the new core the same way they currently
work with TeX/TeXlive. I don't know enough to know if that's how things would
shake out - it needs investigation, one of the things I was hoping to learn in
the ModTeX effort, actually - but the other side of that coin is that any one
application (like, say Axiom) is only going to use a subset of the universe of
TeX packages. TeXlive in lisp isn't necessary per say...
