Regrettably, you need a bunch of the things that will be in texlive in
order to use it.
Tex, but no macro collections? Oops, no good.
Tex, but no font definitions? Oops, no good.
I expect the list of "Tex, but no <foo>? Oops, no good" items continues
from there. Macro collections and fonts leap to mind immediately, but I'm
sure that's not all :-(
There may be something smaller than texlive; it looks like MiKTeX might be
a possibility.
