[OS X TeX] TeX based on TeX Live release

[Paul Vickers]

running these from my new temp user (with nothing installed beyond the 
Apple defaults):

> What do the following commands return on your setup:

/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

> 
> and:

> kpsewhich --format="TeX system documentation" index.pdf

gives nothing at all
