Siep,
that is really good work! Many thanks for doing that.
I have only some monor comments/additions at the moment.

[I have added that for sake, if somebody jumps only to that section]

[Dviout. This is really a pain that we cannot give people installed dviout 
previewer for win32 users. All I can do is to prepare README file how 
to install and configure it, and put the file in support/dviout/
(see rev. 9532).
Anyway, I think that some subsection should be added after sec. 7.1
Please, feel free correcting it.]

\subsection{Dviout previewer}
This \TL{} release unfortunatelly doesn't offer preinstalled \textsf{DVI} 
previewer for Windows. However you can install \textsf{dviout} by Toshio 
Oshima from the \path|support/dviout/| directory, which contains also
a short information how to install and configure \textsf{dviout} for \TL.
Please read the \textsf{README} file carefully before installation.

At first, when you preview files with \cmdname{dviout}, it will create fonts 
because screen fonts were not installed. After a while, you will have created
most of the fonts you use, and you will rarely see the font-creation window.
More information can be found in (very good) on-line help.

% end of subsection

All the best,
