Latex Equation editor. Added new virtual method to allow plugin-based
data conversions.

At uwog's request I moved all references to itex2MML into the abimathview
plugin.

To do this I added a new virtual method to the gr_EmbedManager class.

    virtual bool convert(UT_uint32 iConvType, UT_ByteBuf &
pFrom, UT_ByteBuf & pTo);

This allows plugins to data conversions from one type to another. It
returns true if the conversion was successful.

In this case we convert Latex => MathML using the cool little itex2MML
utility available from:

http://pear.math.pitt.edu/mathzilla/itex2mml.html

You'll need itex2MML to be in your search path for this to work.

This program has a few issues but I'm pretty sure they can be sorted out.

This gives AbiWord some really useful Math capabilities. See the
screenshot below. I cooked this up in about 10 minutes of playing with the
nice little modeless dialog. (Do Insert->Equation->From Latex)

Enjoy our New Feature(TM)!
