Shital Shah's solution to this ongoing problem is described at http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Eq2Img.asp where he describes how to install mimetex as a Win32 DLL (rather than as a stand-alone executable image). His latest code can be downloaded from http://www.shitalshah.com/dev/eq2img_all.zip

Of course, that would require some changes to the tex filter (which is easy for me to say since I wouldn't have to make them). DLL installation at each moodle site would also add complexity. I have no idea whether or not it's worth the effort. Probably not for everybody. But if your sysadmin is willing to install dll's while refusing to run cgi's, then Shital's solution should work.
