Well, one point that I have not mentioned earlier: while teTeX uses that
share subdirectory by default, it is not mandatory. If you put your texmf
tarball into $prefix/texmf, the sources will detect and use that if you
specify the correct prefix:
  $ mkdir -p /tmp/foo/texmf
  $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/foo  2>&1 | grep texmf
  checking where the main texmf tree is located... ${prefix}/texmf
  checking where the main texmf tree is located... ${prefix}/texmf
  ...

So, if Gerben sets up his teTeX package that way, this will be compatible
with TeX Live then...
