 To replace the obselete tetex package, we need to to use Texlive.

 Some things:

  * There are 4 tarballs, src, texmf, bin, and extra. They are all
 compressed with LZMA, so, for that, LZMA needs to be in the book.
  * There is a shell script that takes care of configure and make for you:
 Build.
  * It comes with it's own versions of things, like texinfo, lzma, etc...
 We need to disable these for a cleaner build.
  * xindy needs Clisp and libffcall, two things not in the book.
  * Fontconfig needs to be there for xtetex.
  * X11 is needed for a few utils.
