We were waiting on upstreams decision to apply the patch, and you were
unsure whether he applied the complete patch, or only the change in the
kpathsea call.  I think Karl has applied it completely:

http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/kpathsea/mktexnam?r1=1485&r2=1607

So we can go ahead.  If I remember correctly, the steps would be:

- apply the patch to tetex-bin and the respective texlive package
  (although texlive does not need to be synchronized)

- make the changes in tex-common, make sure that it does not get to
  testing before the tetex-bin change is in

Is that correct?
