A couple of comments
* can we put all the dictionaries and data into a single file
(_mathtext_data). I would rather not have a proliferation of
support modules for mathtext
* do we really need dictionaries for tex2uni and uni2tex. Would it
not be better to define tex2uni and then do
uni2tex = dict([(v,k) for k,v in tex2uni.items()])
