You are right, the names were not really the best option ..., nor is the
respective documentation, sorry.

Do you implement this? I can currently not commit anything since on
linux I can get the wlan to work (ahhh how I hate it) and for internet I
have to use the installed windows.
BTW, concerning the tex-common upload. Let's hope that the
fmtutil/dh_installtex change really works well, I didn't do many tests.
We will see. Although I am drunken I see a small problem now that I
think about it ... it is again the jadetex ... I am not sure what will
happen with this, since now the postinstall of jadetex (after the
rebuild with tex-common 1.7) calls
fmtutil-sys --conffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf --all
I guess this should be all right, but we might check. Unfortunately I
have no way without an internet connection under windows.
Best wishes

What the hell, he thought, you're only young once, and
threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep
the element of surprise on his side.
