Hi All,
Here is a slightly better solution that the one posted yesterday.
Instead of using an external program sed to modify the pattern file,
the perl distrubuted with texlive is used instead.
Now there are only 3 small files:
1) SetTex.cmd
2) local.conf.pattern
3) subs.pl
The script SetTex.cmd can be installed where you wish. It
creates a local.font file with the correct letter for the drive,
redo the font cache and then call texworks and a command windows
with the environment variable PATH set with the path to all the TL2011
binaries plus the paths to few others useful binaries.
subs.pl a small perl script which substitute a specific
pattern with a disk letter in the model of the file
local.font. This files should be located in texmf-local/bin/win32
The file local.font.pattern is the local.fonts files
with specifics pattern for the disk letter. This file will be
modified with the perl script. It should be installed
in texmf-var/fonts/conf.
By modifying path in SetTex.cmd, it is possible to adapt the script
to other configuration.
best regards,
Alain

Hi All,
Thanks for all your advices. Finally, I was able to do what I want:
to have TL2011 installed on an USB stick easily usable with XeLaTeX
(the other engines do not seem to have problem with the font loading).
This was surprisingly simple.
In the attachement, you will find 4 files:
1) sed.exe
2) regex.dll
3) local.conf.pattern
4) SetTex.cmd
The two first are simply the Unix sed command for Windows
directly downloaded from the GnuWin32 site. These files
should be located in texmf-local/bin/win32.
The file local.font.pattern is the local.fonts files
with specifics pattern for the disk letter. This file will be
modified with the sed command. It should be installed
in texmf-var/fonts/conf.

By changing the paths inside SetTex.cmd, you can adapt the script to your
configuration.

However, when the TeXlive is running from a removable device
the letter of the disk can change. The pattern _DISQUE_
should then be replaced by the correct drive letter and
then the command fc-cache should be run to redefine
the content of the cache.

Howdy,
Best thing to do is to ask François Charette, the listed maintainer, if he will
do it or if he's willing to make you, or someone else who is willing to do the
job, the maintainer of the package.
Good Luck,

François wrote me that he is no longer able to maintain it and
searches someone who will continue his work. I do not know git and
have no time to learn it. If someone oves it to subversion (or at
least cvs) and adds me as a developer, I can do it. Adding
\RequirePackage is siple and I can do it quickly (or if somebody else
does it...). There are other possible improvements but I can deal more
with the package probably only since January next year.

I do not know where and when but I think François Charettehttp://ctan.org/author/id/charettemade *Philipp Stephani*, the maintainer of polyglossia. Also see https://github.com/phst It also seems that eg9 also has commit access to polyglossia on github. see https://github.com/eg9 -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

I've added the change to the git version. The question is whether Françcois
