That would be me. I know very, very little about TeX. We use teTeX because the guy that wrote JadeTeX used it, and provide sufficient documentation that I was able to get it working with the assistance of many people. Please, if you can reduce the size of the TeX dependency then go ahead and do so. Unfortunately, I won't be much help.
