but we need to pick up that thread after tl is finished; when isee those
files come by i think much can go esp in a live system (for instance all
those metafont things to start with)
maybe next time we should have something xmllive on the dvd, something
minimal and handy for processing xml, in which case we can stick to a
few fonts (only outlines and so) and leave out most of the binaries as
well; it also demonstrates that we progress -)
