[tex-hyphen] Improving hyphenation support for compounds

["Jörg Knappen"]

Hi Pander,

I have the details not ready (I can look them up, if you don't know them already), but at the
EuroTeX conference in Arnhem 1995 there was a talk about hyphenation patterns for 
compounds generated with patgen (using a correctly hyphenated list of compound words as
input). The author claimed good success for finding correct Haupttrennstellen (of course, some words
linke german Staubecken or Wachstube are unhyphenatable with this approach).

Keep me in touch with your work, it is very interesting. Unfortunately, E-TeX never implemented
different weights for hyphenation points.

P.S. Another (very different) approach was the Austrian SiSiSi project, still to be found
somewhere on CTAN (in the form of documented change files to TeX.web!!!)
