POD or another text format is definitely a way to go if it's to be
released as OSS and expected to be maintained by the community.

You can use my hackish Pod::HtmlPsPdf, which tries hard to help generate
slides. The only caveat it has now, is that the html2ps tool that it uses
generates not 100% complete PS, so when I run ps2pdf everything is cool,
but acroread has no option to rotate slides by 90% , so I have to use
ghostview instead during my classes.

Of course you are welcome to send me patches that improve the slide mode
of this module.
