[Labs-l] MediaWiki to LaTeX Compiler

[Mike Dupont]

Here is the code,
http://sourceforge.net/p/wb2pdf/git/ci/master/tree/src/mediawiki2latex-server.hs

note: haskell often has resource problems, I am wondering if we can
reduce its memory usage.
I have done a lot of code optimizations in the past, one thing would
be to move out the image processing into another batch utility and
dont load them all into memory at once.
