Great, can you so at least for the most obvious current platforms
then? I can also do it myself, but because of the close link to
minimals I thought it would be better if I didn't (and besides,
it is not the best of ideas for me to 'own' a great many packages).

Yes, I know we should work something out.

However, in order to get a broader audience (and therefore testers and
helpers), I think it should now be the first priority to get tlcontrib
far enough ready that it can be announced on c.t.t. and tex-live. And
that means that the most common architectures should be covered asap.

I do not care too much about e.g. kfreebsd and alpha-linux at this
point, but definitely win32 should be in, and whatever is the most
normal binary set on darwin.

Best wishes,
Taco
