Actually I was wondering if anyone had pointers to TeX/LaTeX macros for
HPSG.  I tried making some myself but quickly realized that there had to
be better solutions than abusing matrix environments by hand...  And that
certainly someone else had already done the same work.

So does anyone have some locations where LaTeX macros for HPSG could be
found?

What I'd really like to see is a little X application that allows tree
drawing (of any flavor) and exporting the output as LaTeX or Encapsulated
PostScript.
