teTeX contains its own *mandatory* libraries. One aim of teTeX it to
have something easy to install for the *end user* which is a different
situation from a distribution maker.

If there are bugs, I'd be happy to hear about them to get them fixed.

Which duplication of efforts? I don't reprogram the libraries, I just
include them. Not much work. Alltogether certainly less work that the
cumulated work that end users have if they need to find out hot to get /
build / install these libraries on their own.
