At the same time, one could drop all references to pdfetex (symlink in
bin-dir, pool-files and engine-subdir), or are these still needed?
pdfetex needs to be retained as a binary name, and that works fine. The
pool file is not needed, now that the binary is "pdftex".
However, Reinhard, something went wrong with your x86_64-linux build or
checking. There, pdftex is still a symlink and pdfetex is still the
binary. That should not be the case.
The only other platform not updated to have the pdftex binary is
sparc-solaris, and I know Vladimir is working on that.
And yes, we should have another round of builds before the release, but
last I knew Martin was pondering making another release, and I do not
know the final disposition of that.
