Are these two needed? (Probably for debugging, as below.)
dvipdfmx
What is with dvipdfmx? Wasn't that one for aleph (which is not in the minimals any more)?
mktexmf
^ probably not, not sure what it does
mmafm mmpfb
^ multiple master fonts are obsolete
OK
pfb2pfa
^ can go away
OK
pltotf tftopl
knuthian progies so let's keep them (debugging)
ttf2afm
maybe keep it for a while (debugging
ttf2tfm
does not really work i think
vftovp vptovf
knuthian progs
so: mktexmf, ttf2tfm and pfb2pfa can go away
b.) stubs (Hans: should I simply copy everything from stubs there?) concheck ctxtools exaclient exampleg examplex exaresolve exaserver exatools
exastuff can go away (one can alway suse texmfstart scriptname)
OK.
imgtopdf
i need the minimals myself, so keep that one for a while
I didn't intend to remove any of those files.
makempy mptopdf pdftools pstopdf rlxtools rscortool rsfiltool rslibtool texexec texfont texshow textools texutil tmftools xmltools
okay
c.) simply copy from cont-tmf texmfstart luatools mtxrun
indeed, beware, we need these copied in the bin path !
d.) to be taken from texlive dvitodvi
used?
texexec probably replaced it's functionality. Perhaps it might go away.
kpseaccess
used?
kpsestat
used?
If texexec doesn't use it, people don't use it either, I assume.
kpsewhich mktexlsr pdftosrc
also pdfinfo, pdftops, pdfimages ... everything from xpdf
Hmmm ... apparently that one is only needed for windows, or to be put in other words: there is no binary in texlive for other platforms. Apparently I got it with fink. It might be nice to have it for other platforms, but I don't know where to get it. Perhaps it's considered so standard that texlive didn't include it? Mojca
