I have a rudimentary latex2org perl script (ahem, bundle of hacks) born
of necessity that I intend to put up on Worg when I get a chance. I'm
afraid it knows nothing (at the moment) of math formulas. (I did use it
to convert a large manuscript, including biblatex citations, to a nice
clean org file --- a result that brought a smile to my face, however
ugly the script itself might be.)

I'll try to clean it up and make it available as soon as I can.

Best,
Matt
