[tex-live] Having a .fmt for different engines

[Norbert Preining]

Hi all!

New incarnation, thanks to Kakuto-sans remarks mf.base and mpost.mem are
now installed into
	$enginedir
which is set respectively.

What I am not sure is whether the call to mktexupd works, as I had to
call mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf ny hand before I got it working.

Anyway, now all formats are put into engine subdirs, and all the engines
I have are working.

Best wishes

Norbert
