Well...jkh and I both like the idea. I'm not sure what (if any) other issues there are, since I'm pretty ignorant of the differences between the latex and teTeX ports. Another thought: I was just wondering if there might be a way to disable the xdvi build/install in the teTeX build, so we could just check for NO_X when building teTeX (the release building process already defines NO_X, principally for use by print/ghostscript6). I noticed a whole lot of configure options getting passed as a part of teTeX's build, but I haven't really investigated. Thanks! Bruce.
