Maybe it's a tetex/gentoo specific thing... Other gentoo folk have had this happen.

We can do this. I thought dvips either messed up hyperlinking or resulted in those horrible boxes around linked text - has this changed now? Postscript, as far as I know, does not support hyperlinking - that is (or was anyway) one of the advantages of using pdflatex in the first place. <idle thought> I wonder how much of the functionality of PStricks could be implemented on top of xypic?
