The point of the GSOC project is to make the mathtext project available as a smaller, lighter, more widely accessible project. If it depends on mpl, what have we achieved except complexity? Don't we want the ft2font and png to be provided by mathtext, and let mpl depend on it to get the stuff there? Admittedly, mathtex may not be the right name (mpltext?) but conceptually it seems like we want the low level stuff in mathtex.

You can punt on the setup/dependency issue for now. In the branch, you can assume mathtex exists and is installed. We can worry about how to handle the setup and distribution issues once we have the package organization rationalized. A simple set of install instructions for developers with very explicit commands to check out the branch, install the deps, and test would help us test as you progress.
