Bug#143761: Plain TeX lacks multilingual hyhphenation patterns

["C.M. Connelly" <c@eskimo.com>]

"JG" == Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmul.ac.uk>
"DK" == David Kuehling <dvdkhlng@gmx.de>

    DK> Plain TeX has by default only support for US-english
    DK> hyphenation patterns compiled into the format file,
    DK> although the TeX-version distributed with Woody has
    DK> various other hyphenation patterns available.  This
    DK> renders the "ngerman.sty"-package unusable for plain TeX:

    JG> This was done upstream at the explicit request of Don

Aha.  That's what I thought, but I didn't mark the bug as
``wontfix'' because I wasn't sure.

We should either mark the bug as ``wontfix'' and leave it open or
close it.
