Thank you. Especially for ArXiV, this should not be very difficult.
Did you manage to submit Pdf files written using TeXmacs?
Some people reported me some problems with that on ArXiV,

texmacs -c input.tm output.ps

One current drawback is that TeXmacs is really started together with X.
One day, I will have to reorganize the boot procedure so that X does
not to have to be started.

Hmm, strange, can you send us a (short) example with this behaviour?
