There are too many changes from teTeX-0.2.2 to teTeX-0.3.3. Here are
the ones, I still remember:

- xdvi find its app-defaults via XAPPLRESDIR variable (no link in
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults or whatever necessary)
- new babel system
- new PostScript font setup
- texconfig and MakeTeX{PK,TFM} are rewritten:
texconfig can now be used to configure MakeTeX{PK,TFM}

texconfig can run in batch mode
dvips can be configured to save to a file by default
