I haven't heard much about setext lately.  But I use it myself, mostly
because I **hate** writing HTML directly.

As far as I know, I have the sole copy of the latest version of the
perl setext-to-HTML converter.  I updated Tony Sanders' version, and
then asked Ian Feldman (the creator of setext) to comment.  All I've
heard from him is "There are problems with it; please don't distribute
it."  I have yet to find out what those problems are.

Since then, I've rewritten the script a few times, and I've also
ping'd Ian a couple of times.  I've also written a setext-to-LaTeX
converter; I currently plan to merge these back together so that most
of the code need not know about the target format.

If anyone wants a peek at what I have, let me know.  But I will ask
that you not pass it on until I merge the two scripts.
