me too, I did think more thoroughly about that, there was also OzTeX for
the Mac, which was a versionof TeX with an automted translation to
Modula-2 ...

there is also a soutrh african port to Oberon

But:
1. TeX has several deliberate gotos for exiting the program
2. TeX does its own memory management on some arrays (pools)
     which will be very difficult to port.
3. The whole process should be completely automated, to keep in
    pace with TeX releases (I don't know how good it approximates
    pi currently)
