The author of TexShop encourages users to use Gerben Wierda's 
distribution of teTeX. The dmg for teTex is rather hefty (~50 meg), so I 
would prefer to use the fink distribution of tetex rather than 
downloading and installing a new package.

Preliminary testing has shown that by setting both the tex and distiller 
paths to /sw/bin, as well as installing the fink package "pdftex", I'm 
able to use the fink versions of teTeX.

(I don't know if pdflatex is required)

I have three questions:

1) Am I likely to run into subtle bugs?
2) Does the Wierda distribution of teTeX differ any substantial manner 
from fink's package?
3) Is system-tetex written expressly to support the Wierda distribution? 
Or is there a "competing" distribution of teTeX for MacOS X?

(If the answer to all three questions is yes, a new fink placeholder 
package may have to be developed.)
