I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble with these changes. They look like
automated transformations of \\ to \e, - to \-, removal of trailing
whitespace, and other such things. But as far as I can see the original
source works fine. So why the churn? I'm sure you have a reason, but what?

Also, as I wrote before, I do not like this convention of putting
sentences on their own lines. That prioritizes smaller patches over
readability of the source, which to me is backwards. If other changes
are to be made in the sentence, I don't completely object to it, but I
don't much want to commit changes that do nothing but play with the
sentence locations.

If there are actual improvements to the content somewhere in there,
please let me know.  I looked at all the patches, but could easily have
missed something.

Finally, some of these (tex2aspc at least) are not maintained in TL and
thus should go upstream. It would be nice if one of you could sort that
out instead of leaving it for me (which I realize is more convenient for
you, but asking anyway). The programs with upstreams should be listed in
texk/README and utils/README. --thanks, karl.
