[Mediawiki-l] texvc and mediawiki install on sourceforge

[Andrew Nelson]

Sergey,
after 20 hours of hard slog I have finally got proper latex support.
The mimetex works well, and probably should be the default on the
mediawiki distribution as most servers have Mime support.
I did have difficulties getting the mimetex.cgi file though.  I kept
on getting segmentation faults, which was probably due to the way I
downloaded it.

I probably owe you a beer.

cheers,
Andy
