Every setting that is required to steer this, should be changeable in the
core.conf file. As it seems that this whole thing needs a lot of parameters,
maybe a new [SECTION] in the core.conf file is required. This should be the
name of the /main/ library/program (as I didn't look into it - and never
worked with these programs - the section could be called [OCAML] or [TEX] or
such: the name of the main tool, as already mentioned). [SECTIONNAMES] in
the .conf files *must not* contain dividers, likes underscores or dots.

I wouldn't call this section [MATH] as nobody knows what the future will
bring.

 * includes/cowiki/lib/<LIBNAME> is suitable for binary stuff
 * includes/cowiki/class/lib/<LIBNAME> for pure php scripts/classes like GeSHi
   makes sense

The output directory depends on the sensibility and durability of the data.
I can't tell you yet, where the best place would be, we need to talk about
it again.
