Is there anyone porting TexLive to Plan 9? Plan 9 hasn't so many tex-
related programs. Tex and MF is not enough.

Bear in mind that some of the newer TeX programs (pdfTeX, XɘTeX, &
luaTeX) use a C++ library to handle PDF files.

one option before you go to that level of pain: use Plan 9's
- x11 emulator
- linux emulator
and see if texlive "just works". I'd like to know myself.
thanks
