Your technique worked perfectly, except that I added in fmtutil --all followed 
by texhash.  Many, many thanks. However it seems to me that this mismatch in 
filenames should be corrected more globally.  Is this a task for Hans H. or 
for the builders of TeXLive?  With the TeXlive most recently released (early 
December)  all of the hyphenation file names, not just English, are 
mismatched. 

I'll wait for a reply here before posting anything on alt.text.tex, where the 
TeXLIve gurus tend to hang out.
