This is a _great_ enhancement, thanks a lot!
Just a word of warning.

One of the nice things of mgp is that it is mostly self-contained
(except perhaps for postscript and the lack of "embedded" fonts...
but we can work on that :) This means you have an easy time moving
presentations around (see the %embed directive) or multicasting
them as we do in mgpm. However resorting to such "tricks" for
rendering math definitely makes presentations less portable, unless
we build a little bit of support in mgpembed (or equivalent) to do
the postscript generation on its own.
