* From: Brian Tao <taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw>
* I thought dvips just needed Metafont and the MakeTeXPK script to
* generate the bitmaps? TeX is just a macro processor ("just", ha!)
* that calls MetaFont to retrieve font metrics and the like. That's my
* understanding of it, after trying to rebuild the latest kpathsea'd
* versions of TeX/LaTex2e/dvipsk/xdvik under FreeBSD (what a nightmare
* that was...)
Yeah, that's right....my guess is that what they need is just metafont
but since metafont is typically included in a TeX distribution, the
doc just says it needs TeX.
