[metapost] Metapost 0.970 beta released (call for testers)

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I haven't yet done extensive tests but I installed from the 0.970 src
distribution and the ConTeXt files (using metafun) I'm writing still
work fine.  I'll shout if anything turns up.

Meanwhile below is a patch to update-tetex.make.  I used to keep it in
the directory above the source (so it wouldn't be lost when I installed
a new mpost), but now that it's integrated into the distribution it
needs a couple path changes.

The build.linux script made a mp.pool:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 sanjoy sanjoy 27439 2006-11-07 16:20 ./build/texk/web2c/mp.pool

So I kept the install-pool target in the update-tetex.make for now.
