Do you want to keep on maintaining pbox-tex? (was: Fixing TL dependencies for pbox-tex)

There are two issues with this, and I'm really sorry - we should have
addressed this much earlier.  Nearly a year ago Norbert sent an updated
TODO list to this list and it was among the tasks...

The first problem is described in the bug.  The second is that pbox-tex
(which should be named latex-pbox, by the way) is already part of
texlive.  So either Simon says that he wants to keep on maintaining the
package, then we remove the files from texlive-latex-extra.  Or we keep
them and remove pbox-tex from the archive.  However, in the second case,
we should also fix one more bug in texlive: The documentation for pbox
is missing in the 2007 release.
