I have responded off the list. As of now, I think it is pstoedit 3.40, 
which will not work with sklatex. Pstoedit 3.42 and above are know to 
work (I personally know 3.44, the latest, to work). Sklatex still works 
with 3.33.
(As an aside, it was Soren who fixed the -ssp bug in 3.40 that made it 
to 3.41.)

Thanks.
