HiTeX missing \savinghyphcodes

[David Carlisle]

Related to this, hi(la)tex is not set up in fmtutil.cnf so you have to
build the formats by hand.

hitex --etex --ini plain

appears to build a working plain tex in cygwin 64 pretest and the resulting
hint file works with the windows hint viewer
but latex fails, if I make an ini file to temporary avoid th
savinghyphencodes issue

hilatex.ini

\countdef\savinghyphcodes1000
\input latex.ini

then

 hitex --etex --ini --ltx hilatex.ini

makes a hilatex format but using it segfaults:

$     hitex --fmt hilatex sample2e
This is HiTeX, Version 3.141592653, HINT version 1.4 (preloaded
format=hilatex)
