I couldn't test everything as I'm missing some input files but it
looks basically "taggable". 

Tagging didn't like the grouping around verbatim in \myverbatim and
here. In both cases a \par is missing before the group is closed:

{\small \begin{verbatim}
cmr10 CMR10 <cmr10.pfb
ptmr8y NimbusRomNo9L-Regu " TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont "
<texnansi.enc <utmr8a.pfb
\end{verbatim}
\par %<------------
}

The primitive \moveright /\hbox construction gives a faulty
structure. 

The faked headings in the licence aren't perfect either.
