Hmm, am I missing something here or not. Well yes, there is nothing in
doc/texmf coming from texlive, but I wasn't sure what will happen if
tetex-base/tetex-bin/tetex-doc PLUS texlive packages are installed. I
susepct that there will be a LOT of conflicts in the doc directory. I am
just now downloading the tetex-doc package (damned is it big) and check.

Well, someone who wants to rebuild the documentation. And didn'T we
agree that the sources for docs should be available.

Yes, this would be fairly easy to ignore *all* tar.gz files, even under
a certain treee.
