[racket-dev] generating tex with a different component order from Scribble

Given that I have an existing paper in Scribble, which I need to get
into this format, which of the following would be
easiest/prettiest/most useful for the future?

- writing a new renderer
- generalizing the existing latex renderer
- hacking prefix.tex (although I don't see how this would work)
