As links, correct?  This is appreciated.  Now we just need to get the
Omega developers to support Omega, and we are all set...  Different
story, though.  Future versions of Omega according to Yannis are
supposed to support other fonts, like Opentype.  I don't know whether
some odvips is part of those plans.  But it is possible that
preliminary information regarding the plans for that can be gotten
before odvips and oxdvi have existed just as links in stable teTeX,
TeXlive and Debian releases for so long that they can be considered
established.

So we might still decide at one point of time to declare the names
"odvips" and "oxdvi" obsolete.  For now it will cause AUCTeX fewer
headaches if we keep them around.
