Comment (by mojca):

 I'm very happy that you sent this patch. But in my opinion this should be
 part of `texlive-common`. Otherwise people will either forget to install
 `texlive-texmfdist` or keep it installed long after they remove `texlive`
 form MacPorts.

 Then again, in case Dan would not be comfortable putting the code there,
 it's still better to have a functional package than not having anything at
 all.

 Dan? Would you be willing to accept the contents to one of your existing
 texlive packages? I imagine `texlive-common` would be the best place, but
 it's up to you.

 (I wonder if we really need all the zillion symlinks though. I thought the
 original author had a neat idea to use them somehow, but I imagine that
 nowadays almost the only useful bit is the bin dir.)
