Originally written 2004, Karl Berry.  Public domain.

This tree (texmf-dist) is for the formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and
all the rest) and all the packages, together with their documentation
and sources.  Most everything used in day-to-day TeXing, except the
binaries themselves.

Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by
Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist (or texmf-doc).  If not, it
goes in texmf.

And yet another: texmf-dist should be distribution-independent, so that,
in theory, it could be used by distributions other than TeX Live.  So,
no web2c/kpathsea-specific files.
