[OS X TeX] TeX i-Package updated, Easy Mac font support for PDFTeX

[Alan Bowen]

Gerben—

Is there an explanation somewhere of where these personal  
configurations files kept are and which ones may be deleted safely?  
It would be nice to make this problem just go away, so that there are  
no warnings or difficulties when installing i-Packages.
