We have a program here at Masscomp called delatex; I think it came with the C
TeX distribution.  I think (I'll have to check on copyrights) that I could
mail it to you or post it if there was enough demand.
It removes all TeX and LaTeX constructs and acts as a filter, so you can then
spell-check the result.  I've used it for a couple of papers, and it seems to
work fine.  Mail to me at ...!{harvard,ulowell,uunet,allegra}!masscomp!garyo.
