[tlbuild] Asymptote Build

[Richard Koch]

Philipp,

Thanks for suggesting otool. It does not list fftw and gsl.

I build on a bare-bones system. No Fink or MacPorts, and when I build  
the main TeX Live, I blow away /usr/local before proceeding. To test  
asy, I renamed /usr/local/lib and asy ran fine. I think (with your  
important help!) we are home free.
