TeX Live: pdfcolmk (color marks/stacks). Played with our xputenv function; some libc's make a copy of what gets passed to putenv, others use the string as is. For some reason, the latest pdftex triggers a failure on MacOSX. Tried to put in some preventive tests with help from Hartmut Henkel, but can't test it, not having a Mac development environment. Rebuilt images anyway. No one else is building binaries yet :(.

TUGboat: edited a nice paper on getting started with beamer, a LaTeX package for making presentations.

GNU Hello: added --greeting option to override the output message, for the sake of having an example of an option with an argument, and preparing for having sample config file support.

Read Mammoth, John Varley's latest novel. Liked it a lot more than his other recent ones, too. Yay. Also enjoyed the collection of his published recently, the John Varley Reader, which had some lengthy intros by him to each story, close to an autobiography. He has written some great, great stories.
