Thanks Marc.  I saw this while doing my initial search for a solution.

Turns out that in the mean time, a couple of LaTeX wizards on
comp.text.tex answered my plea.  One (Ulrich M. Schwartz) even cobbled
together a primitive environment (called "infilist") that might work.

Very kind of them both, I must say.
