Hi Karl!

Ok, no problem. I just remembered the updated from p4 times when there
was "updated foo bar baz ..." ;-) Next time one by one.

But then, I did all this while sitting on a train from Florence to
Vienna, so Ihad loads of time ... and I like svn for this, with p4 this
wasn't possible at all. 

I will try to do the stuff one by one, but if I do a bunch on a train,
it will be like the above one.

I have moved the file to doc/latex/babelbib and removed the
bibtex/bib/babelbib directory.

For the specialbib hash: No idea what it is doing? Can I give special
locations for special files ?!?!? Can you fix this?

Yup.

Well .. When I run tpm-ctan-check --check I get output/problems with:
# texmf-dist/tpm/active-conf.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/amscls.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/amsmath.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/beebe.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/ethiop.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/labelcas.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/oberdiek.tpm
# texmf-dist/tpm/screenplay.tpm

Furthermore, note that I have commented powerdot-doc-vn in tpm-can-check
as it always broke on my system.

And added a "exit 1" to the MAKEbeebe.

If you can take a look at these packages that would be great.

What about new packages? I think it is better when you care for them. I
can do the update stuff.

Best wishes

Norbert
