All good questions, but until we rewrite updmap in perl we will not have
a decent solution.

And until nobody can confirm with decent argumentation that the approach
Thomas Esser took here was overdoing it and there are no circumstances
where this isn't necessary, we probably will not hack around in those
shell scripts.

Best wishes
