Hello,

I was wondering if anybody (say, for example, Hans ;>) has ever
thought about developing a (Con)TeX(t)+Meta(Post|Fun) counterpart of
PSTricks? PSTricks is widely used, but has the disadvantage of not
being usable for direct PDF creation; a purely "texmf"ish way to
handle the stuff would be rather nice.
