TexLive and MikTex supports bibtex, metapost, makeindex and pdf2latex.
I don't work with asymptote, I'm using TikZ, so sorry, I don't know
that

I have upload a first screenshot on the project page. I'm using
CKEditor for editing the data, full jQuery / Ajax
support for the webcontent, jQuery filetree / document support and a
full right management to the documents (works at the moment). Each
document creates a session look, so only one user can write the
document (document part). Within the GUI you can create drafts, which
are reverenced by the documents, a document is a accumulation of TeX
code blocks, on which you can set different right accesses.
I will store HTML code within the database and generate TeX code with
XSLT and send them to the installed pdf2tex command.
In the future I will also add a "diff" command so each user can edit a
locked document, but after unlocked the use can show the differences.
A history works at this time also, so each change on a draft / document
will be rersible.
I'm using also PHP ADODB for creating a database independed access (I'm
working at the moment on mySQL). The system is also themeable
and I will create a plugin interface for extensions. The CKEditor can
be advanced with plugins, so some special TeX structures can be added
directly into the editor (I'm thinking about a full TikZ support). The
systen uses only UTF-8 support and I have implementated the gettext
structure
for multilanguage.
The project should be for workgroups, that would like to use the
plurality of TeX with only one tex installation on the server. I think
it
is primarly für the LAN use. I know it's a lot of work :-P
