- Update pretest.html.

-After tlnet freeze:
- fix release-texlive.txt .mkisofsrc tl-update-tlnet TLConfig.pm
- in Master/tlpkg, update bundled Windows programs as needed:
- dviout texworks tlgs tlperl tlpsv
-
-When binary set and docs are stable enough:
- Ask ConTeXt people to update.
- Compare Build/source/inst/texmf to texmf.
- tl-update-txi
- tl-update-man # and run make in texmf/doc/man

-update ~www/texlive web pages (search for $prev):
- acquire* - general
- bugs.html - general
- doc.html - platform list, translation list
- quickinstall.html - paths
- w32client.html - new .zip needed

-
- Do both a branch and a tag so that it's possible to easily compare the
- current state of the branch with its starting point (the tag).
-
- Then, to check out the branch, so critical source fixes can be applied
- for the distros:
-cd /home/texlive
-rm -rf branch # if starting a new year on tug
-mkdir branch; cd branch
-svn co file:///home/svn/texlive/branches/branch2011/Build/source . >&out
