I'd like to suggest that teTeX include the lipsum package.  I find it useful for
making sample documents, for beginners.

I often want to generate a several-page sample document for a beginner.  Rather
than typing "ajfdl adf adfj asdkj a", or some macro that interates text like
that, I'd like to say "\lipsum[1-6]".  But I can't depend on a beginner having
lipsum, and installing is an unsolved problem (for beginners).

It is small and would easily go in tex/latex/misc, so it wouldn't clutter up too
much.  I understand that it is not an especially widely-used package, but if it
wasn't that the target is people who are starting out, I wouldn't make the
suggestion.

Tnx,
Jim Hefferon
