Background: see separate post with PostScript code.  How do you
generate the LaTeX that you run through for the preview?  Depending
on that, a baseline may be extracted (would have to be probably
output as text on the terminal.  At least that's what preview.sty
that we use in preview-latex for chopping up things into pieces does).
