detex for CentOS

So another little porting effort. This time it is detex

DeTeX is a filter program that removes the LaTeX (or TeX) control sequences from the input so that the real content can be passed to a spell or diction checker.

I am using this for my dissertation to count the words used
detex dissertation.tex | wc
Quite a useful little tool. When I get time I might rewrite it in perl to make it more portable.
