    Last weekend I tried building TeX 2.95 using the latest .web files from
score.stanford.edu and change files for version 2.93 from the latest
(as far as I know) web2c distribution (from june.cs.washington.edu). 
I had no problems at all after making just one trivial change
(2.93 -> 2.95 in one line in the change file that referred to "banner").

Likewise for building metafont, all the texware programs and all the
metafontware programs (for which I web2c change files) execpt "pktogf",
for which I got one error message from tangle which I didn't easily see
how to fix (a complaint about "text_char" already being defined).
