I've been playing a little with the texmacs file. Now that Emacs 21
supports images, it would neat to grab the TeX output, pass it off to
TeX and dvips and insert the image in the Maxima buffer.

I thought it would be rather hard to do line breaking of long equations,
but I found a LaTeX package which does that quite well -- the rest is
pretty straightforward.

Here's a screenshot of how it looks at the moment:
