Howdy,
Then all of these extras will have to be re-installed when the TeX
package is updated. I believe we already see that with XeTeX (which
is a small package so not much of a problem) but some packages (like
CM Super?) are considerably larger. Oh... I thin the packages so save
disk space on my Powerbook.
Good Luck,
