The following discussion addresses a problem found in the latex code, and has 
nothing to do with the dvipng hack. I am working on fixing these problems in 
cvs, but I need to do some testing first.

There is some issue related to the dvipng hack that I dont understand. Robert 
and Samuel want to apply the hack to dvipng version 1.6. I also have version 
1.6, but if I apply the hack, then my output doesnt look right. Whats going 
on here? Are there two OS dependent versions of dvipng-1.6?
