Auto-installation of dependencies (python PyX, LaTeX, etc)

This is a placeholder issue; i'm not intending to work on this feature at this time.
It would be nice to install PyX and all it's dependencies with a simple Julia command. Currently the tooling for this would be Conda.jl, possibly via the "bioconda" channel, which contains the Python PyX library. However, bioconda doesn't seem to handle the LaTeX dependency, which is a large and complicated package to install.
Another complication is the Python2/Python3 split; upstream PyX is Python3-only for recent versions, but PyCall and Conda default to Python2, and switching to Python3 probably shouldn't happen auto-magically.
