people SHOULD use web2c if they just want to install it.
Common TeX is my hobby and i hope to work on it for a long time.
i dont enjoy working with translators so i have little choice.
i am sure if i compared notes with people who worked with translators,
i would find two things:
1. that they know more about the tranlator than TeX
2. that they didnt enjoy themselves.
