Request to review: print/texlive-install

[Stephen Montgomery-Smith]

Hi People,

I have written a simple port which is in essence a wrapper around the 
texlive installation script.  It also builds (almost) all of the 
binaries from scratch.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Would anyone mind if this port was 
committed?

There are a number of issues.  In particular there is no checksum 
calculated for install-tl-unx.tar.gz because I suspect that it changes 
very often.

Also the install-tl-xxxxxxxx script doesn't seem to have a capability to 
be run in batch mode.  I hacked a way around this, but it could be 
easily broken if the script were to change in some unexpected way.

But it does build and install texlive in a fairly timely manner.  And 
the result can be made into a (large) package using pkg_create.

Thanks, Stephen
