Actually, the bin/common/ subtree could indeed be removed from luatex installation. There's only bibtex, kpathsea and some programs that are really not needed. (There's only a single line to be removed from mtx-update.lua.) Concerning fonts - I'll do at least a split "LM" / "all other fonts" in some not-too-distant-future. > If anyone is interested in that, I can mail it as attachment > personally (about 9mb bzip2 package).
