I would have to second that - life will get harder, not easier, if
Maxima has to start generating PS output, especially if care is made to
make it conform to the document formatting conventions.
Regarding line-breaking of equations, that's a tough problem and the
fact that (La)Tex doesn't already do it automatically should tell us
something. If you have Maxima (or Tex) do it for you, I bet half the
time you'll want to re-do it by hand anyway. Which of course is
unfortunate if you want to be able to just make a change to your maxima
script and type "make".
By the way, how many Maxima users specifically want "Tex" output as
opposed to "Latex" output? I notice Maxima brackets its tex output with
"$$" which doesn't sit well with Latex's "equation" environment, for
example.
