Thank you for that, Michael.  I think that sounds like a good plan.

However, I am not entirely sure how to make that happen.  I have MacPorts, of 
course, and three TeXlive directories (2014, 2015, and texmf-local).  What do I 
need to do to remove the ones I don’t need and to ditch MacPorts TeX and use 
TeXLive for Mac?  I have a habit of making a mess and not knowing how to clean 
it up.
