tex-test-20140628

A quick and dirty way of testing whether TeX Live, as installed in Beyond
Linux From Scratch, appears to be working.  The Makefile will produce
four PDF files.  Check the Makefile for required dependencies.

Many people use TeX, often in obscure areas.  So far, I have had no real
use for it and I discovered that many of the examples on the web did not
work for me.  This was particularly the case for Asymptote, and much more
so when I first tried to test Xindy - much of the Xindy documentation is
obsolete, or targetted at its developers.  But now, I have found enough
information to be able to prove that the shipped binaries for Xindy in
2013 TeX Live do work (I never really doubted that), so I should be able
to work out if my attempts to rebuild it from source are usable.
