I think we should do it that way.

I did a text search through tetex-bin's sources, and there are some
possible problems:  

texconfig uses TEXMFDIST to display the release file; but that is a
minor problem.  texdoctk also uses it, but with --expand-path, so there
will be a list, anyway.  The string doesn't seem to appear in
tetex-texmf.
