Maybe I'm a bit dense, but couldn't this be done more easily using TeX
itself, i.e.:

----
\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\newcommand{\ProbEasyIntegral}{%
Find the integral of $f(x)=x^2$ from $x=0$ to $x=10$.
}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}

\item \ProbEasyIntegral

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

----

All the problem definitions could live in one file, to be included. One
could get fancier and define a "Problem" environment (if using LaTeX),
which took as an argument the name of the problem to be included, I think.
I'd have to think about how to get TeX to do that.
