Interesting - I had not seen this! No, this is not related to libtexpdf
but obviously both of us had similar ideas.

I still think my idea is better (obviously!). ptexNg does not separate
out the PDF generation from the DVI processing, and it doesn't really
work as a hygienic library.

I think it's still worth trying to come up with a dvidpdfmx based on a
library like libtexpdf, because (if we can get it working) it gives a
clean separation of concerns between front and back end, as well as
providing a library which is generically useful for PDF generation in
other applications too.
