Hi Thomas, I'm currently RPM-packaging tetex 3.0, and a found
a problem with mf, mf-nowin and mfw. At least I'm a bit confused about it.

In the past there was 'mfw' and 'mf-nowin' executable, the first
was compiled with window support (and thus linked with
X11 libraries) and 'mf-nowin' which hadn't window support and thus
linked with only libc libraries. And the fmtutil were soft-linking
'mf' either to 'mfw', if it existsted, otherwise to 'mf-nowin'.
Now, instead there are only binaries 'mf' (which stays for old mfw)
and 'mf-nowin'. Why this changed behaviour? Or it's just a thing
forgot in the newer texk/web2c/Makefile.in?

Bye.
Giuseppe.
