I have created a TeX and al. distribution, pure C89 under a BSD like license, that has been tested under NetBSD and Plan9; has been reported to compile under Linux and FreeBSD, and should simply compile everywhere. It is light. Has all the latest versions of Donald E. Knuth's programs and fonts, plus Tomas Rockiki's dvips(1), John Hobby's MetaPost, Oren Patashnik's bibtex(1), the AMS fonts and more. One can compile the LaTeX package with it (see the README/LISEZ.MOI). The programs depend on strictly nothing except the standard C library. It is a matter of less than 10Mb to download for sources. A matter of typically less than 5 minutes to compile; less than 5 minutes to install including the generation of fonts etc. Since I'm reaching the 1.0 target (the only remaining thing to do is add back the X11 display rendering for METAFONT), I think it's time for kerTeX to be more widely known. It's here: http://www.kergis.com/en/kertex.html and please to download and read! the README.
