integrate support for minted.sty

http://code.google.com/p/minted/ has been making my day all week (running under pdflatex).

This would be lovely to have working within LaTeXML.

Unless we get some extra time to look into this soon, moving into the Future milestone.

For the record: since it uses an external python program/library,
I assume the only practical way to make this work would be to
call that external code and interpret whatever TeX that (I assume) they produce.

We have, unsurprisingly, received a request for minted at Authorea. And it turns out even pandoc "supports" it already by writing out a verbatim code block. Probably something to consider as a stop gap, I'm unsure if a partial implementation is better than no implementation here.

[brucemiller]

Writing out a code block probably works in many cases, but will fail if there are user defined macros inside; likewise it isn't really correct to attempt to "partially" expand only those user defined macros, although it might work occasionally.

Anyway, I guess it's time to admit that this binding isn't going to happen any time in the near future. Sorry.l
