It does seem usable. It is just that I've been thinking things like:
"Why do we use 'sed' when we've had emacs up and running ~four times
already" and "Why are we shell-escaping lisp code all the time when
we could just fire up emacs -batch -l foo"

No, no, it seems fine. I cannot say I found any errors on inspecting
the code, but it feels more and more opaque to me, so no guarantees.

Attached is a suggestion which would prefer (tetex-3) installs in
texmf-local.
