kerTeX: TeX for Unices, Plan9 and more

[tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost]

Hello,

I have released a new version of kerTeX.

KerTeX is a TeX "kernel". Its aim is to provide the core of the system,
on whatever host (kerTeX depends only on libc for compiled stuff), and
to let the kerTeX system handle the TeX packages.

KerTeX comes with its own packaging system. LaTeX, graphics@latex,
babel@latex, cyrillic@latex, amstex are already there (ams@latex next).

Hence the only work of an OS (say here NetBSD and pkgsrc) is to install
kerTeX on the OS. This is already possible (as for a wild bunch of
others) with the get_mk_install.sh script to be found on the server (see
below).

KerTeX uses not GNU autoconf, but my own R.I.S.K. system.

An example of using R.I.S.K. with another packaging system is given for 
Slackware (the script kertex.SlackBuild to be found on the server).
Nothing difficult: just remove all GNU autoconf stuff, and let R.I.S.K.
do the building; package the result afterwards.

KerTex, for its own stuff, is under a BSD like licence.
