I can compile the x86 and amd64 binaries, but the bad news is I have no time :( Let's see if native binaries are really need by people on the mailing list. > dvips ... might be supported, I don't know. > > Is dvipdfm needed? > dvipdfmx? Of course. pdftex cannot handle CID fonts well. it wont embed ttc and otf fonts. Apart from that it generates bigger pdfs than other drivers. But now the dvipdfmx configure files are almost missing, and one cannot just use dvipdfmx foobar.tex to generate foobar.pdf directly. dvipdfmx have better support for Asian scripts, I think, and it is needed before LuaTeX/MKIV is stable to do CJK language typesetting (which we will keep waiting for a long, long, long time).
