I really wonder if > enough people are using this to justify the duplication of efforts? Probably not, since the libs directory has a number of problems. To be useful, the libs directory needs to provide libraries that aren't readily available. TeTeX-2.96.6 uses libintl, librecode, and libreadline. In my experience these are less widely available than zlib and libpng. the link in libs/howto/t1lib doesn't work.
