Thanks Alexander,
if I got the point correctly, we can only rely on the tetex package,  
not on any system-whatever_tex package. Did I? In case, I'll update  
pyx according this.

However, I have the impression that many users won't be happy with  
this. Since OSX came out a lot of people using TeX and its cousins  
had installed and happly used TeX distributions like the Gerben  
Wierda's one or the new MacTeX (based on TeXLive). Stopping  
supporting the system-* packages means to ask all these people to  
stop using either Fink or their TeX distro. I guess they'll go for  
the former. This is only my humble opinion though...

Cheers,
  Andrea
