For some background info: http://www.xs4all.nl/~msneep/articles/ 
baseline.html

You can do it in a single step: the preview package does that for  
you, and it works with all displayed and in-line material. The  
problem is that you don't get a baseline offset (but neither does  
using pdfcrop). If someone has an idea for obtaining the baseline  
offset while still accepting multi-line equations, I'm all ears.
