First (ref. messages 943, 789), I suspect now I was in error in
saying that removing config files fixed the problem. In fact I
nuked a whole '$TEXMFLOCAL/web2

What config files did you have to remove? It would be nice to check
for those in the postinstall script.

What happened here is that the latex FMT file was somehow produced by
plain tex, not by pdfetex. In tetex-2.x, latex was a symlink to tex,
whereas in 3.0 it is a symlink to pdfetex.
The FMT files are produced by running texconf

Well, I think the problem is due to cygwin/Windows limitation: you can't
have a link named latex that points to pdfetex.exe
But correct me if I'm not right.

According to the teTeX manual ('doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.{dvi,pdf,ps}'),
section 4.6, "pdfetex: the new default TEX engine":
In the mail below, I see that still with version 3.0.0-3, which still I have
not installed because I failed both with 3.0.0-1 and 3.0.0-2, when one is
doing "latex filename.tex", in the line below the output is "pdfeTeX..."
With the previous version of tetex (2.something) this was not happening.
