main point of preview inset was to have preview of anything written in ERT,
which is anything user wants to :/ some examples are in instant_preview.lyx
or feynman diagrams manual. but we support what preview-latex package supports,
pgf/pstricks support was kind of hack...

for me even the math manual doesn't work now. dvi is genereted with most
of the snippets except of few with error:
! LaTeX Error: Command \qG already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

we have even bug entry for this (iirc we put multiple \qG definitions).
