Hi,

I was wondering wether tex2im could be in tetex-bin or another package.
It is just a small wrapper of latex&dvips& imagemagick to generate image
from tex file. It is use by gaim-latex.
You can see it at  http://www.nought.de/tex2im.php
The script is really small, so it would be bloat to use a package for
it.

Thanks
Cheers,
