You know, I have no clue if this is going to help or not, because I
have no experience whatsoever with typesetting systems (other than
using them), but have you considered looking at the source code for
TeX/LaTeX front-ends? I would suspect that they have to deal with the
very issue you're dealing with. One of the best TeX front-ends for the
Mac is TeXShop and it's open-source, so you should be able to peruse
its source. You might also want to contact some of its developers and
code contributors.
