Incredible how much LaTeX functionality is out there if one digs.  I
can't believe how much my initial search missed.  I'm assuming
graphviz.tex and some combination of hyperref and the "URL" attribute
are the target technology?

One drawback here is that, AFAIK, dvi isn't a support output format so
hyperlinked dvis might be out.  Of course, given how much I've already
missed... arrgh.

Sweet.  Can it work within size constraints?
