I understand that.

But this is exactly what I wondered about: what percentage of end
users are you doing this work for?  I imagine that almost everone
nowadays uses some sort of distribution; even Windows (Cygwin) and
MacOS X (fink) users do that.  Only a hard core unix user would be
compiling tetex just for herself, and she would probably enjoy fixing
all the dependencies :-)

Ok, all the better.
