If you would like to contribute, +please send mail to me (infovore@xs4all.nl) first. + + +If the library is built shared, it would be nice if the binaries did not +have it as a dependency; as it is, all of Web2c gets rebuilt if the +library changes, even though logically only relinking (maybe not even +that) is necessary. This is because if the Web2c programs themselves +get relinked (as they do), we must reconvert the web programs. + +For multiple texmf.cnf files (or multiple dvips configuration files), +replace extra :'s by the value from the next file in the path, rather +than the value from the next level. + +Support runtime registration of file types to search for, not just +compile-time. Either by a procedure call, or by reading a configuration +file. Implies putting the envvar list into the kpse_format_info_type struct. + +cd during filesystem operations, to minimize the pathname +length. Implies always using xgetwd. + +Separate the routines needed for path searching, and others that are here +only because it's a common place -- i.e., a kutil library. |
