hm, i consider them part of the binary, the fact that for some reason tex keeps
its strings (pool) ourside the binary and loves to dump is not common practice
for programs; and ... since on a server, serving several platforms, binaries can
be out of sync ... pool files can be out of sync ... and format files can be
incompatible
versioning is another matter; i guess you're not suggesting that we should use a
version subpath to distinguish versions (per arch).
