[tex-live] a bit of mess with unix binaries and man pages

Hi,

only alphaev5-osf4.0d and powerpc-aix4.3.3.0 contain 233 standard
binaries; for other unix systems, there are either missing files
or (in one case) the file is named incorrectly; also, script files are
not always up-to-date:

alpha-linux:
  MISSING FILES:
  altpdfamstex altpdfcont-de altpdfcont-en altpdfcont-nl altpdfelatex
  altpdfetex altpdflatex altpdftex disdvi dvi2tty mktexfmt mptopdf nts
  OBSOLETE SCRIPT FILES:
  dvi2fax fontimport mkocp mktexlsr oxdvi rumakeindex texdoc texdoctk
  texhash texi2dvi xdvi

hppa2.0-hpux10.20:
  "dialog" should be renamed to "tcdialog", as in other unix dirs
  (man/man1/dialog.1 should also be removed, i guess, because it's
  the same as man/man1/tcdialog.1)
  MISSING FILES:
  altpdfamstex altpdfcont-de altpdfcont-en altpdfcont-nl altpdfelatex
  altpdfetex altpdflatex altpdftex cont-de cont-en cont-nl disdvi
  dvi2tty fdf2tan install-info makeinfo makempy mktexfmt mptopdf
  pdftexinfo t1mapper texfind texfont texi2dvi texindex texinfo
  OBSOLETE SCRIPT FILES:
  allcm allec dvi2fax dvihp e2pall epstopdf fontimport makempx mkindex
  mkocp mktexlsr mktexpk mktextfm oxdvi rumakeindex texdoc texdoctk
  texexec texhash texi2html texi2pdf texshow texutil xdvi

i386-linux:
  MISSING FILES:
  ttf2pk ttf2tfm

i386-solaris2.8:
  MISSING FILES:
  mktexfmt

mips-irix6.5:
  MISSING FILES:
  mktexfmt ttf2pk ttf2tfm
  OBSOLETE SCRIPT FILES:
  fontimport mktexlsr texdoc texdoctk texhash texi2dvi

powerpc-darwin5.3:
  MISSING FILES:
  bg5+latex bg5conv bg5latex cef5conv cef5latex cefconv ceflatex
  cefsconv cefslatex epsffit extconv extractres fixdlsrps fixfmps
  fixmacps fixpsditps fixpspps fixscribeps fixtpps fixwfwps fixwpps
  fixwwps gbklatex getafm hbf2gf includeres mktexfmt nts oxdvi oxdvi.bin
  psbook psmerge psnup psresize psselect pstops showchar sjisconv
  sjislatex t1mapper ttf2pk ttf2tfm xdvi xdvi.bin
  OBSOLETE SCRIPT FILES:
  altpdfamstex altpdfcont-de altpdfcont-en altpdfcont-nl altpdfelatex
  altpdfetex altpdflatex altpdftex epstopdf
  NOTE - alt* scripts claim to be of version 2.3, although texlive source
  contains version 2.2; and epstopdf is v2.8draft, although texlive source
  contains version 2.7

sparc-solaris2.7:
  MISSING FILES:
  mktexfmt ttf2pk ttf2tfm
  OBSOLETE SCRIPT FILES:
  fontimport mktexlsr texdoc texdoctk texhash texi2dvi

sparc-solaris2.8:
  MISSING FILES:
  mktexfmt nts ttf2pk ttf2tfm
  MISSING FILES:
  fontimport mktexlsr texdoc texdoctk texhash texi2dvi

Also, i think that sparc-solaris2.7 binaries could be removed, because
sparc-solaris2.8 are likely to work on sparc-solaris2.7 too.

btw, why the xdvi (and oxdvi) script includes:
xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
but not
exec xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
as it did in one of previous versions?
the latter seems to be more efficient.

Best,
v.
