I'm attempting to remove texlive because it's existence makes it impossible to completely remove X Windows components. I've manually ensured that all things dependent on it have been marked for uninstall. It ends up in a catch 22 style circular, self-reference problem. I don't know what percentage of cygwinidos use teX stuff, but it MUST be a serious minority. Could someone come up with a solvent for this teXSuperGlue?
