IC, I must have missed this.

I think it's fine to keep teTeX1 in pkgsrc.  My intention is to make the 
pkgs prefer one TeX version (which should be pulled in via 
pkgsrc/print/teTeX). Pkgs that know they want something else can still 
pull in pkgsrc/print/teTeX1-bin.

What I'm working on is changing any pkgs that work ok with teTeX3 to 
actually use that as common base, while still allowing teTeX1 if 
users prefer to install that.

(I thought about adding a pkgsrc/print/teTeX3 package, which could then be 
pulled in from pkgsrc/print/teTeX later, but think that's probably not 
worth the effort. Maybe I'm wrong.)
