Good point.  This simplifies things a bit.  I have put up a new
version of dbtexmath that uses the <alt> element in equations rather

Sounds like a good suggestion too, but that will take me a bit longer!
Any pointers on what to do in DSSSL to get jade to write out an
auxiliary file?

In today's dbtexmath version I've included "about.pdf" in the tarball
-- thanks to Juan Migoya for pointing out I'd forgotten it.
