a) /srvd/usr/athena/bin/tex is a symlink to
$(DESTDIR)/usr/athena/bin/virtex. This is ok as DESTDIR was /srvd, but
perhaps that installation should really symlink /srvd/usr/athena/bin/tex
to virtex.... This is better from a performance point of view (following
the full path again) and is better when DESTDIR != /srvd...
b) I looked in the release notes and saw no mention that dvi2ps was
removed and dvips is being used in its place. Was this ever decided
upon, or was it carte blanche. I suspect that this is because the
release notes make no mention of text being updated....
