I've fixed a typo for cstetex (cstex doesnt exist, oops ^^). Anyway, I |
| 18 |
doubt anybody will try to resurect it and it'll be gone in a few weeks. |

Note that plain.tex is provided by texlive-basic, so stricto senso it |
| 21 |
doesn't provide support for "Plain TeX", only TeX. It also provides |
| 22 |
kpathsea, so packages using only kpathsea might benefit from it also. |

If nobody is against it, feel free to commit this (with or without |
| 25 |
cstetex, as you wish, I'll kill references to it before removing it |
| 26 |
anyway); or I'll do it when I'll have some time, most likely this week |
| 27 |
end. |
