It does not (as I for some reason had assumed) seem to be part of MediaWiki 1.4. Is this being saved for 2.0?
Brion (good man) and I laboriously hashed out a plan of attack:
1. relativized, escaped paths
2. specific, fail-safe error messages
3. dvipng
4. "amsmath", to avoid colliding with texvc
5. OS X friendly scripting
ETA: one week.
