You've done that by hacking at the SRPM and installing it over the
current one, yes? OK -- so it should work this evening (hmmm).

You said that `in more recent tetex packages it defaults to yes'.
Which packages do this? I'm going to have to write some
platform-specific build notes for this, and it would be useful to tell
folk which tetex RPM version they'll have to have on their machine,
given that they probably won't want to build kpathsea by hand.
