One other question. which pdftex shows that it's in the minimal  
distribution

They released a patch for this problem in April 2009. Specifically,  
they patched the binary files dvips and pdftex

Have these patches been applied to the versions of dvips and pdftex in  
the minimals? If not, is there any reason why I shouldn't substitute  
these patched versions for the ones in the minimals?

Thanks.
