Well, for the moment I can do as is.

Not with TeXLive, no, as long as the version number doesn't change, 
there's no need to rebuild the format.

As I've said before, adding  "--enable-auto-import", as suggested by the 
compiler, doesn't change anything. Perhaps I don't put it in the right 
place.

Yes, a huge gift, especially when you don't have it, and especially when 
you're a linguist -- a scar on my ego, as far as I'm concerned (I speak 
only French and English, and very rudimentary German). Too bad TeX is no 
natural language... but I'm off-topicalizing here.
