Title:
  Malayalam: is a pre-processor required?

Status in “texlive-bin” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: texlive-lang-indic

  The description for texlive-lang-indic says, "malayalam -- Fonts for
  typesetting Malayalam, with a pre-processor."

  Does this mean that the pre-processor is required?  If so, is it
  included in the package?

  The malayalam package and help file (mm-usr-0.9.6.pdf) over at sarovar
  (http://sarovar.org/frs/?group_id=17&release_id=795) indicate that the
  LaTeX file gets saved as a .mm file.  Then the the script mal is run
  on that .mm file.  The resulting output is a .tex file that can be
  processed with latex or pdftex.  BUT, the mal script and the mlym
  binary that it calls are not packaged with texlive-lang-indic.

  If i grab the latest version malayalam-0.9.6.tar.gz from sarovar and
  install it, then i have the mal script and mlym binary. But I had
  expected them to be installed with texlive-lang-indic since
  /usr/bin/devnag and /usr/bin/ebong are installed as part of texlive-
  lang-indic.

  This is all with Ubuntu 7.10 and texlive-lang-indic 2007-12ubuntu3.1.
