Most distributions that I know, package tetex in several parts; -base,
-extra and -doc.  A typical tetex installation using base only costs
about 10MB.  For Cygwin, I include the default package tetex-tiny,
that gives you tetex in about 2.5MB.

I agree that it would be helpful if a sane splitup was supported by
tetex development.
