We have been discussion updmap in the past. Two problems I had with
updmap was that
* it will not write the map files to $VARTEXMF, if defined, but it
should definitely do so.
* it does not modify special.map, for which provision should also be
taken. I currently use it for antyktor (has made it into the beta
I'm using) and belleek (which does not). it should also write one.
I have continued hacking my Makefile in the meantime, which may not
suit your needs, but bear some suggestions, at
http://ls2-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~tinnefeld/TeX/dvips/Makefile
most likely:
* filter out comments of the mapfiles when joining. They make no sense
after sort | uniq
* auto-depend on additional mapfiles in some special directory (..// in
my case)
* (not that important) write current date into the mapfiles, to make
users see that it may be outdated
Furtherone, one might wish the configuration section of your
script to be extracted to a seperate file that can be edited and rerun with
a texconfig command.
Best wishes
