>Description:

	Name `mp', being as laconic as every unix utility wants to be
	named is used by teTeX (for MetaPost interpreter) and by the
	pretty-printer port from ports/mp

	Installing teTeX after mp overwtites the mp's executable as well
	as man-page...

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
	Manually install mp-port (a simpler one) with different names.

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
