[texdoc] Almost ready for v3.0!

Hi Reinhard,

Yeah, the awk trick is good, only that I am not good in awk.

BUT, you lost the part
  grep -v '\.'
which is necessary (well, not strictly, but for correctness) of
filtering out those lines of 
  packagename.architecture


So the correct one is

  complete -W "$(awk '/^name[^.]*$/ {print $2}' $(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFROOT)/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb)" texdoc

  compctl -k "(($(awk '/^name[^.]*/ {print $2}' $(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFROOT)/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb)))" texdoc

Maybe ... we could start a TL completion project ... but honestly, I
have uninstalled most of the completion stuff since it is fundamentally
broken by design. Completion often tries to guess what I want to write,
and often refuses to complete what is an acceptable invocation, just not
one that was thought of by the original completion writers.

It pissed me off quite a lot that for some time file name completion was
disabled for some commands, etc etc.

Still I can add that to Debian TeX LIve package.

Unfortunately we don't ship tlpdb in Debian by now ;-)
