yup, I know. I will write up some man pages.

As with the upload of -1, this is a competely irrelevant issue, and in
fact cannot be fixed but by hacking around deeply in the build system of
texlive. The missing texmf tree does not matter. I has been like this
since long.
So, if I write the man pages then it is ok? I will start now.
Best wishes
