I built from CVS and it works just fine! Thank you! One question - is 
there any way to control the thickness of the overbrace? This one looks 
a little thin (but that's already small trouble).

I tried, and found this:

http://www.texnik.de/underbracket/bracket.phtml

which seems to be quite instructive. It seems there is no builtin LaTeX 
command, but it is doable as shown.

Also, I noted that what I called square overbrace seems to be called 
overbracket, so you might want to change that in the UI.

Thank you again!
