[tex-live] texlive setup problems

[Karl Berry]

I've installed the following change to the error message wording so it
no longer refers to pool files. (With thanks to Akira, as always.)

The pool file is compiled into the tex binary as well as all other. I
think I should change the *POOL definitions in texmf.cnf to /nonesuch to
make it clear they are not intended to be used. If anyone has a reason
to the contrary, let me know ... -k
