Any kind of mimetex extension planned around?

Hello, I was looking for a mimetex/mathtex (latex interpreter, converts latex syntax into GIF images) extension on pecl.php.net but apparently there's nothing around for that purpose, so I just wanted to know if anybody would possibly be working on something like that, and if anybody would be interested. Basically, a good subset of mathematical expressions can be dealt with by the MathML W3C standard (and that would be enough for me) but it implies installing a plugin for all Internet Explorer versions as they do not support SVG generation, and that is not acceptable for my user base. The mimetex/mathtex software [1] is licensed under GNU/GPLv2 but the current inconvenient is it is only running as a CGI in a web environment, which makes it slightly inconvenient for me to provide to "download, unzip, run" users of my application (also in GPLv2). As my latest experience with integrating a library to PECL was not that good (in the end Sara took over completely for the integration of libssh), I would be interested in seeing if there is someone I can just provide some help with or if I will have to try doing it sometime soon. I'd also like to know if there is some kind of interest for that in PECL. Regards, Yannick [1] http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html
