It is quite late for that request (the release is planned for this
weekend). Do you mean that you have libxpdf.a (resp. .so) and libGoo.a
(resp. so) and the header files installed at standard places? If I manage
to implement this, can you check if this works ok within a few hours?

That's easier form me to do. Which tarball do you mean (src tarball or
texmf tarball)?

Oh, that's just good news.

It would have been in time if there had not been non-trivial dependencies
to eTeX and Omega. We have decided not to defer teTeX-2.0 for Knuth'
changes. I did include all the updates to the texmf tree, however,
so we have plain.tex version 3.14159265.
