-The utility program @code{biber} consists of many Perl modules bundled
-into an executable by the @code{Par::Packer} mechanism. Therefore
-it is not feasible to build @code{biber} as part of TL.
-
-However, in order for @code{make install} to create all executables in
-@file{bindir}, the @code{biber} module in TL contains pre-made
-binaries (by @code{biber} contributors, released on the original
-@code{biber} site) for the platforms for which they are available. TL
-merely checks if an executable is present for the current platform,
-and if so, installs it.

-@cindex platform, current
-@pindex config.guess@r{,} config.sub
-@pindex TLUtils.pm
-@pindex TLConfig.pm
-The complication is hidden in the phrase ``current platform''. TL has
-its own ideas about platform names, and the mapping from the canonical
-system name determined by @file{config.guess} or @file{config.sub} to
-the TL platform name is not trivial. So, a value given for
-@code{TL_PLATFORM} is used as the TL platform name. Otherwise, the
-build uses copies of the Perl modules @code{TeXLive/TLUtils.pm} and
-@code{TeXLive/TLConfig.pm}, to avoid duplicating the
-platform-detection logic.
