+merge-tlmedia-into-tlpdb-and-get-rid-of-it
+
+purpose of this patch is to get rid of TLMedia again, as it was an
+interesting idea but created only much pain due to duplications
+of variables, as we always had to use the tlpdb also directly.
+
+This patch moves the two genuine functions from TLMedia
+ install_package
+ remove_package
+and related/needed functions into TLPDB.
+
+In this course also the naming of the various variables has changed, now
+there is only
+ remotetlpdb
+ subsuming the former tlmediatlpdb, tlmediasrc
+ localtlpdb
+ subsuming the former localtlmedia, localtlpdb
+
