Thanks.  It works fine, I only had to fix two minor things.

This sounded a lot more scary than it turned out to be, it only took
me a couple of hours yesterday to update my patch.

FWIW, I never understood why tetex copies sources of external util and
lib packages, in every distribution I have seen they are all disabled
anyway (and packaged directly from upstream).  I really wonder if
enough people are using this to justify the duplication of efforts?
