name
   untex: remove tex and latex constructs

synopsis
   untex(input: in, output: out)

files
   input: a tex or latex file
   output: the file with:
      '\xxx' command words converted to spaces,
      '{$_}' deleted
      '~' converted to spaces
      free floating '.' ',' '(' ')' removed
      comments (%) removed
      \% is turned into % to preserve the percent
      '\xxx{stuff}' is converted to ' stuff' so that \emph{italics} are ok
      '\xxx{\another{thing}}' is converted to '  thing' by recursion.

      multiple spaces are comressed to single spaces.
      multiple lines are compressed to 2 lines (to preserve the
      paragraph structure).
description
   This reduces the number of words counted by wc to something close to correct.
