Yes, I'd thought of that...but it's not all that simple. I think the biggest hassle is writing code to check to see if the (la)tex file compiled properly... Guess I was hoping that someone had done it already :) However, I thought I'd read of some version of tex which did produce ps files directly. Maybe it's a commercial version or something.
