Howdy,

The only bad consequence of installing those files in texmf-local is  
that they will take precedence over updated files when TeX Live 2008  
comes out. i know that I'll forget that they are there by the time  
that come about :-).

By the way Bruno, I assume the build went fine after you used you  
configuration command. I saved that since it seemed to be the right  
thing. Luckily i still have gwTeX with its kpathsea library. I hope  
TeX Live 2008 will include the includes and libs directories for the  
`hackers.'

Good Luck,
