I disagree with this idea. It means that we have to do error handling
and option processing for LaTeX, bibtex and everything between .lytex
and PS, which will be  a lot of work and a support headache. Not to
mention that people (especially now that we have .EPS support) might
want to run pdflatex instead. 

Can't we focus on making the dvips invocation as easy as possible
instead? dvips now only requires

  -h foo.fonts.ps

What's so complex about that?
