Yet anther src-update... There have been some important pdftex / etex
related updates and the changefiles have been rearranged to increase
the mainability. Fortunately, TeX 3.141592 related changes get properly
merged into etex / pdfetex.

I have had a quick look at Jan's Cygwin-Patches, but not yet adopted
anything. But, I will do this, i.e. either fix things if it affects my
stuff or forward the relevant patches upstream.

Files (to appear soon):
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/tetex-src-beta-2.96.7.20040721.tar.gz
or
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/tetex-src-beta-2.96.7.20040721.tar.gz

Changes in the src area:
        * changes from Olaf Weber / Peter Breitenlohner / Han The Thanh /
          Martin Schröder
          - Updating etex-2.1 to TeX 3.141592 (not yet finished). This shall eventually
            become etex-2.2.
          - Updating pdftex to TeX 3.141592 (glue and leader box rounding plus some
            typos). In doing so I have removed a few modules that were identical copies
            of those for TeX; without these copies the leader box rounding problem
            wouldn't have existed.
          - Adapting pdfetex (and pdfxtex) to etex changes.
          - Rewrite of build rules for {etex,pdf*tex}.{web,ch} and removal of obsolete
            files from the dependencies. Removal of some spurious dependencies for
            pdf*tex.web.
          - pdftex 1.20a-rc7.1
        * create symlink for mktexfmt.$(manext)
        * fixed broken dvipng configure.in
        * pdfcrop added to texk/tetex/Makefile.in

Happy testing + have fun!
