[tex-live] late fixes, I guess everyone will kill me ...

[Norbert Preining]

Hi all!

I found 2 patches in the debian dirs which might be of interest:

The first one is for mktexmf from Werner Lemberg, I found it here on the
list I guess

The second one is a bit a bitter one: dvipdfm crashes in half-hour time
zones. The following patch was included upstream ...
## 61_dvipdfm_timezone.dpatch by "Mark A. Wicks" <mwicks at kettering.edu>
## DP: fix crash of dvipdfm with 0.5 timezones

I checked, both of them do still apply to the svn repository.

But I guess at least the second has to wait for next year.

Best wishes
