>Description:
	I wanted to reinstall Lyx, and it now requires teTeX2, so I bit the
	bullet and upgraded my TeX installation.

	I found that texconfig no longer worked.  There was no informational
	message that I saw about why.  (Well, it kind of worked, but forced
	you to a command-line usage contrary to the man-page.  It was unclear
	how to do some things and obviously was a step back from the old
	texconfig tool.)

	After using "texconfig conf", however, I noticed (embedded in the
	middle) a comment about "tcdialog".  I knew that texconfig used
	dialog for the interaction in the previous version of teTeX, so
	I tried adding a hard link:

		ln /usr/pkg/bin/dialog /usr/pkg/bin/tcdialog

	...and all was well.

	Note that teTeX2 *does* require the dialog package.

	Note that the dialog package installs as dialog, NOT tcdialog.

>How-To-Repeat:
	On a clean system, install teTeX2 and try to run texconfig.

>Fix:
	Workaround: Link the real dialog to tcdialog.

	Fix: Uncertain.  I don't know why teTeX2 has suddenly decided to
	use "tcdialog", so whether it is better to change teTeX2, change
	dialog, I am not sure.
