Jan,

I can confirm LaTeX/TeTeX is working great here.  I've managed to get a
working jadeTeX and doctools going as well, so now I can build db
documentation.

Question:  Any plans to release a few "test" TeTeX-betas?  From what I
gather on the TeTeX mailing list, it is ripe and almost ready to release. 
Plus there is some sort of rumor that a new pdfTeX will be included.  This
would be the time to squash any bugs before it does get released, given
the infrequency of TeTeX updates...

Cheers,
Nicholas
