Not very useful to someone looking for a single sensible distribution.
Unfortunately, the executable sources (web2c) come in a different
distribution than the latex libraries do, but you have to understand which
version of the library to have with the web2c utilities you want to build.
For example: pdftex and etex versions of web2c. Many components of this mass
confusion come with their own set of tedious READMEs.

Latex distribution is a disaster.
