I've downloaded the 2.99.0 beta, and I have the following comments:

    o	When I do "texconfig pdftex paper letter", it changes the file
	[some texmf directory]/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex, but
	it doesn't update pdflatex.fmt (and others).  The change does not
	take effect until the fmt files are updated, though.  Can the fmt
	files be updated automatically when texconfig updates pdftexconfig.tex?

    o	In tetex-src-beta-2.99.0.20041023.tar.gz, there are some files
	with unusual permissions 600, 640, 444.  I can't see why this would
	be intentional.  (No big deal, though.)

    o	Can I suggest that when you create the tar files, you use the gnu
	tar options --owner=root --group=staff, so that if we unpack the files
	as root we don't get strange file ownership?  (Again, this is no big
	deal, especially if you don't use gnu tar or create these files by hand
	instead of using a script.)
