sorry ... i've been sickening for another dvt (in a lot of pain), and i
just wasn't thinking.  the discussion that was being blurred in my mind
was about packages which are "modify only with file name change" (which
used to be a provision of the lppl, clea.)

hear, hear.

i must sort out access for clea to the catalogue repository -- in
particular, this would sort the issue of what things are still in tl and
what aren't.  each catalogue has an entry <texlive location='filename'/>
if and only if it _is_ in tex live.  (modulo a day or so's delay, or
more if i'm actually in hospital.)
