I started with everything build depending on tetex-*.  Here is an
overview of packages which might have problems.  Note that I have
no clue what some of those message mean.

Those really failed to build:
- bison-1.35
  dvips bison.dvi -o bison.ps

  (And other warnings.)

Those just gave warnings:
- am-utils

Some have the combination of:
  ** menu entry without previous node: License (l. 98)
  ** node_prev `Top' for `License' not found
  ** `Distrib' doesn't appear in menus
(am-utils, esh, fdutils)

I did not have time to look at all those that appeared to have
been built succesful.



Can't be build currently (C++ transition, xorg-x11, ...)
- acl2
- axiom
- boot-floppies
- cmucl
- crystalspace
- darcs
- drift
- gmsh
- ion2
- kdegraphics
- lhs2tex
- maxima
- papaya
- evince


Have other problems building not related to tetex, and I'll file
bugs about those if they don't exist yet:
- bibtool
- clif
- flite
- gcl
- gclcvs
- jlint
- lilypond
- lyx
- pointless
- pspp
- saoimage
- sbcl
- sbm
- skribe
- transfig
- xconq
- xen
- xfree86
- xorg-x11
- tmview


Should I worry about messages like:
Underfull \hbox (badness 2368)
Overfull \hbox (21.3942pt too wide)
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/cmtt/m/n' undefined
LaTeX Warning: Reference `sec-cblash' on page 7 undefined on input line 452.
** `XXX' doesn't appear in menus:



This was the list of everything directly build depending on it,
and I'll do one with the indirect build dependencies soon.
