OK.
The good news---since I have continued to work a little on this while I
have more urgent things to do---is that it is absolutely _simple_ to
restart from this (the original web2c)... I don't know if the road of
hell is paved with good intentions; but it's clear that the software
highways of hells are "organised" by GPL communities...
So be prepared to the naked truth:
- TeX and al. with uncompressed sources of 20 Mo.
- compilation, including _cross compilation_ on any POSIX or Plan9
(APE at first, but could be native easily) in some minutes.
- and installation in whatever organization you like since the
installation is governed by a map describing where to put (on the
target) the different pieces. (All this is already existing: it's my
RISK basic Bourne shell (at the moment; rc incarnation will come)
framework, which is used for KerGIS).
So rendez-vous sometimes in the end of january 2010!
