We're all in luck.  Previously, I hadn't set up TeX support because it
promised to be a pain, due to some old software that was installed on
Dreamhost (Debian 3.0, aka "sid", for those that care).  Since Dreamhost
just upgraded the box that electorama is on this week (to Debian 3.1,
aka "sarge"), it made the tex install much much simpler.

In short, the problem you reported is fixed.  This was a frequently
requested feature, so I'm explaining it to everyone why I've suddenly
given you such good service after blowing the rest of them off ;-)
