[tex-live] Kpathsea cannot find mktex.opt

[Élie Roux]

Sorry to come back to this again, but after the first problems, a new 
one appeared which is a problem in TeXLive 2013:

mktextfm has difficulties to pass the good arguments to mf-nowin, and it 
gives errors like

This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2013)
kpathsea:make_tex: Invalid fontname `mode:=ljfour', contains ':'
! I can't find file `mode:=ljfour'.
<*> mode:=ljfour

I had to apply to following patch for it to work:

Does it seem appliable in TeXLive ?

Thank you,
