Well, shortly after 2.99.0, we now see this 2.99.1 release. Besides
the fact that I still want to try to rewrite texconfig, this can be
considered something like a release candidate.

I have cleaned up a lot and most things are in a state that I feel
comfortable with.

Since a large amount of C code has changed (gd lib, ncurses, dvipng)
I'd be happy to see a lot of testing and feedback (positive and negative).
