Great! Another possibly useful reference is
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/dviware/driv-standard/level-0/dvistd0.pdf
and the documents in driv-standard/papers. dvi is apparently pretty
difficult to parse, as you have to implement a bytecode interpreter to
keep track of the state.

Thanks Jouni, I was not aware of this document. There are some other packages
in dviware that could serve as useful examples, like dvitops (there are a lot
of GPL'd packages too, like dvisvgm and dvipdfmx. Too bad.)
