Re: 2.99.7: first rc of teTeX-3.0

Okay - everything compiles under irix 6.5.20m with the base compiler and make.

However, texconfig does not run interactively... I believe that
tcdialog is having issues - it just exits - the problem is the
TERM/TERMINFO settings.

I see the following problems (at least):

a) In texconfig-dialog - before executing tcdialog - TERM is set to
$DIALOG_TERM and TERMINFO is set to $DIALOG_TERMINFO - neither of
which are set.

b) ncurses is configured to look in ${prefix}/share/terminfo. I
vaguely remember that at least an xterm terminfo entry was installed
in the past. There is nothing there now...

If I configure, and install the full ncurses sources tree (from
ftp.gnu.org) and copy the vt100 and xterm terminfo tree to the
expected place, texconfig works.

Therefore, the following fixes are needed...

a) set DIALOG_TERM and DIALOG_TERMINFO

b) Ensure that a terminfo database is present -- hmm I see that
${prefix}/share/texmf/texconfig contains such a database -
DIALOG_TERMINFO should point there.

After this, texconfig should work on an SGI.


Separate wish list... It would be useful to have 
"texconfig paper" return the current setting...

Also - "texconfig help" indicates that one could configure the paper size seoarately for xdvi, dvipdfm.  Are these stll valid? The menu access in texconfig does not allow these to be individually set. 


I will need to test tomorrow if everything else is working... Initial
tests show that font creation is going into the share/texmf tree now.
