Emaxima mode question

Yup.  I've tried to improve line breaking a little:

* It's now possible to specify that an image can be scaled down by some
  maximum percentage, say 10%, if that makes it fit in the buffer.

* Allow the equation to be "linearized" if LaTeX isn't able to do line
  breaking.  I.e. replace

              foo
             -----
              bar

  with 
             (foo)/(bar) 

  and

             foo
                bar 

  with 

            subscript(foo,bar)

  etc.  It's not as clever as the way Maxima does the same thing.  If
  something doesn't fit imaxima linearizes *everything* -- Maxima only
  makes the changes that are necessary.

I haven't finished testing it yet, but it seems to work OK.

If you're using the most recent version (0.04) you can click on the
error message: mouse-2 opens the error log from TeX, and mouse-3 the
LaTeX source.  Try to show me the error log.

(If clicking doesn't work, look in '/tmp' for a file called
'imaxima*.log').
