--alone bypasses fmtutil

this can be tricky on unix systems where file permissions and so need to be
set etc etc etc. therefore it's no default; i need the --alone for my own
system which has several trees and mixed windows/unix versions. 

if you have the latest beta, you may also try 

texexec --make --alone metafun 

if that works too, you're up to date. 

make sure you run mktexlsr too, since that is normally handled by fmtutil.
