Do you have an opinion about that? I suggested /etc/texmf/postinstall

precedent we have so far is Achim's new _autorebase, which uses
/etc/rebase.
Even for this I think /etc is the wrong place and I'd consider moving it
elsewhere. Something in /var on the other hand sounds OK to me.
LSB/FHS seems to suggest /var/lib for this purpose unless there is yet
another more specific requirement I didn't find while browsing it.
In view of https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-01/msg00034.html, I'll use
/var/lib/texmf/postinstall for the postinstall markers. I'm attaching revised
cygport patches.
I applied and pushed patches 1 and 3; given the texlive/fontconfig
discussion, does 2 still apply?
Not as it stands. But for users who have chosen to make the TeX Live fonts
available to fontconfig (by creating a symlink as discussed in the other
thread), I think I should keep the font caches up to date. I'll send a revised
patch tomorrow that does this.
