I agree. Here is another point: fonts. There is this big package of 
precompiled fonts which would be a good thing to install. Unfortunately, 
it goes into <prefix>/share/TeXmacs-<version>/fonts/. Therefore, unless 
there is something I have not understood, for every update of TeXmacs it 
has to be removed and to be reinstalled in the new directory.

For the Fink distribution on MacOSX, I have a texmacs-fonts package 
ready, but I will not submit it as long as the situation remains like 
this. I would have to make a new texmacs-fonts package for every new 
revision of the texmacs package. So there would have to be 
texmacs-fonts-1.0.1.10-1 and then, if I need a revision 1.0.1.10-2 of 
the texmacs package in order to patch some small guile bug, I would even 
have to make texmacs-fonts-1.0.1.10-2, and then soon 
texmacs-fonts-1.0.1.11-1, although all these texmacs-fonts packages 
would be absolutely identical except for their install directory.

Hence no fink texmacs-font package.
