support for spivaks math times in under construction, i (or even better: 
taco, since he has already looked into math timesin the past) should set up 
a math symbol file for that. Actually, that's the only thing needed to get 
math times working: edit math-tim into a proper (modern) context file, i 
may do that some day soon; berthold has sent me the files so i can do the 
testing. time ...
