[tex-live] No rule to make target `ppower4', needed by `all'. Stop

Done. -> rev 6971.

Good idea, not only because it is clearer for humans, it also makes it
easier to identify the files by scripts.  Done, with pleasure.

Ok, but maybe it even makes more sense to have an extra script which
can be run in Master/bin and can be called by the Makefile.  This
makes it easier to create the symlinks for testing the stuff in
Master/bin without the need to compile the binaries.

I extended Makefile.in a little bit in order to support the -sys
progs:

The difference between install-linkedscripts and
install-linked-sys-scripts is the line:

  target="$target-sys"

LaTeX has been untouched for fourteen years.  And there is Context.
Is this a reason to remove it?

I propose to keep it, unless there are any good reasons to remove it.


BTW, I added the svn:executable flag to everything in Master/bin but
it's certainly better to extend ~/.subversion/config.  What I have now is:

  | # Extensions we want to be executable.
  | *.bat = svn:executable=ON
  | *.exe = svn:executable=ON
  | *.pl  = svn:executable=ON
  | *.rb  = svn:executable=ON
  | *.lua = svn:executable=ON
  | *.texlua = svn:executable=ON

I added *.lua because this extension is used by Context scripts.
 

  | # Expand the $ Id: $ string.
  | *.bat = svn:keywords "Date Author Id"
  | *.rb  = svn:keywords "Date Author Id"
  | *.pl  = svn:keywords "Date Author Id"
  | *.lua = svn:keywords "Date Author Id"
  | *.texlua = svn:keywords "Date Author Id"

This is new.  It's painful to set these properties manually.  Maybe it
makes sense to put it into http://tug.org/texlive/svn/config.txt .
