OK, just curious.  I don't pay by the kB for downloads, anyway.  Even
if I were to install texworks, though, presumably it would drag along
its own copies of all these files.

Sure, but I'm hesitant to remove it if other packages are really
dependent on it.  Tlmgr sez

 ... needed by scheme-full scheme-gust scheme-medium

Can this safely be ignored?  I don't care about scheme-gust, but
scheme-full and scheme-medium sound rather important :).

Strangely, after forcibly removing collection-texworks, it's still
using 20 MB of disk space:

$ tlmgr show collection-texworks
tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.math.purdue.edu/mirrors/ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
package:     collection-texworks
category:    Collection
shortdesc:   The TeXworks Editor
installed:   No

$ du -sk /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/texworks
20156	/usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/texworks

There are a bunch of PS fonts, .pyc files (for Windows?!), and
a bunch of poppler junk, including a Makefile.  Why wasn't this
removed when I removed collection-texworks?  I'm using tlmgr
from tlcritical, if that matters:

$ tlmgr --version
tlmgr revision 21872 (2011-03-29 01:22:26 +0200)
tlmgr using installation: /usr/local/texlive/2010
TeX Live (http://tug.org/texlive) version 2010


thanks,
