Thanks for the report.  The error is actually harmless (unless you want 
to use mllatex), but it should go away if you issue the following two 
commands (as administrator):

   /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --disablefmt mllatex
   /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --disablefmt mltex

On the other hand, if you want to use mltex/mllatex, then install 
texlive-collection-formatsextra.

Here are the gory details in case you're curious:

The problem arose from the way texlive was initially packaged for 
Cygwin.  By default, all formats were enabled.  I've since changed that 
so that all formats are initially disabled by default, and then only 
those formats that are provided by the various texlive-collection-* 
packages are enabled by the postinstall scripts for those packages.

If you want, you can run the script 
/usr/bin/texlive_generate_fmtutil.sh.  This will create a new 
/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf file in which all formats are disabled 
except those for which you have installed the appropriate 
texlive-collection-* package.  In case something goes wrong, the old 
fmtutil.cnf is saved in /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf.bak.

Ken
