I tried align.el and have a mixed review.  An example
should speak for itself:

Input: 

\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\alpha & a & \beta +	\gamma \\
\mu & c & \delta \\
\theta & \xi & \omega \\
\end{array}\right)

Output:

\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\alpha & a	   &   \beta +	\gamma \\
\mu    &	 c &   \delta	       \\
\theta & \xi	   & \omega	       \\
\end{array}\right)


A considerable improvement -- but still leaves something 
to be desired.  Time to look at the code, eh?
