hyphenation mess

hyphenation mess

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

When generating new minimal trees, i found out that the us patterns are now 
again in hyphen.tex and the uk patterns also got a new name. It is a that the 
naming of pattern files is a mess, and that some pattern files are not in the 
right spot, and things are not improving. The fact that this is solved with the 
fuzzy aliasses mechanism in web2c does not help, since this is implementation 
dependent and makes the texmf tree not sharable.

I'll try to catch the new names in the next version, and in the meantime start 
wondering if it makes sense to add consistently names and structured hyphenation 
files to the context distribution.

[similar things are happening with fonts and related enc files; the next release 
of context [alpha first] will be pure latin modern based and my guess is that it 
will take a while till lm support migrates into distributions, so i will put a 
zip with the font files needed alongside the context zip]

Hans

I vote in favour of cont-pat.zip.

Its a pitty that there is no consense on these aspects. - I still vote 
for the cont-pattern solution.
