Basically, PassiveTeX is just another language module that goes into your
pipeline. So you can use AxAddProcessor text/xsl-fo NULL (or whatever
XSLFO is supposed to be). And AxAddStyleMap to map text/xsl-fo to the
PassiveTeX module.

If you want to do LaTeX instead, just copy and paste PassiveTeX.pm to a
new module, and change the command it calls to run pdflatex instead of
pdfxmltex, and it'll do its job.
