I have never been able to get the Tex stuff to work. I've never
even been able to install it successfully.
I admit it, I'm a dolt.
Anybody have the "magic beans" on this?
I've tried installing and reinstalling. Never can get it to work.
Here's some feedback from my last "install attempts":

* 'man' is installed.
* 'cygcheck' says ok
* 'makewhatis' is run after each run of setup.
* 'apropos' works fine
* 'whatis' does not
For example:
* 'man ls' works
* 'apropos dir' finds 'ls' among other commands/libraries/etc
* whatis 'ls' doesn't work
$ type whatis
whatis is hashed (/bin/whatis
Almost every install of setup (with my prior use of 1.5, and now
with 1.7) runs into some kind of problem (some -- but not all --

Note that I install all new packages and updates almost every
time they are available, with a frequency of about twice a week.
