I've fixed a typo for cstetex (cstex doesnt exist, oops ^^). Anyway, I
doubt anybody will try to resurect it and it'll be gone in a few weeks.
Note that plain.tex is provided by texlive-basic, so stricto senso it
doesn't provide support for "Plain TeX", only TeX. It also provides
kpathsea, so packages using only kpathsea might benefit from it also.
If nobody is against it, feel free to commit this (with or without
cstetex, as you wish, I'll kill references to it before removing it
anyway); or I'll do it when I'll have some time, most likely this week
end.
Regards,
Alexis.
