OK, it was not late enough... I think the file src/doc/Makefile.pamphlet needs a lot of rewrite. A line like

        cp -r ${IN}/ps ${DVI}

appears again and again.

First of all, it does not work with having the .svn subdirs. And second, why not taking advantage of 'make' having a target like

${DVI}/ps:
        cp -r ${IN}/ps ${DVI}

and then simply say

'${MAKE} ${DVI}/ps' in places where 'cp -r ${IN}/ps ${DVI}' appears?
That would avoid all this needless copying time.

Is there a particular reason why the copying must be done at all? Couldn't tex just given another input directory via the TEXINPUTS variable?
