OK, thanks.

I just had another look at the itex source. Not very complex, but a  
bit more extensive than I had remembered. So... If I do have a whack  
at it, it may not be for a while yet :-)

And a quick search, however, uncovered that BlahTex [1] is being  
rewritten in Python [2]. Not sure when that will be finished, though.  
It seems quite feature-rich and rather mature, so I guess it would be  
a better alternative.
