I'm not sure there's an issue here that they can help with, unless I
misunderstand? The issue is that the SC rendered helpfiles currently
have a reference like this:

 <script src='./MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML,scmathjax'
type='text/javascript'></script>

and if we used the libjs-mathjax package, the rendered helpfiles would
have a reference like this:

 <script src='/usr/share/javascript/mathjax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML,scmathjax'
type='text/javascript'></script>

This is unportable for exported helpfiles and that's why I'd prefer
not to do it. It's OK for other software which expects to render the
math on-the-fly for the local user and not export it anywhere. (For
example ipython-notebook-common depends on the lib - I guess it's
doing local math rendering only...)

Please let me know what you think. I'll also pass this on to the
person who actually did the mathjax bit and see if they have a good
way round.

Thanks
Dan
