Do you have an opinion about that?  I suggested /etc/texmf/postinstall

precedent we have so far is Achim's new _autorebase, which uses
/etc/rebase.

Even for this I think /etc is the wrong place and I'd consider moving it
elsewhere.  Something in /var on the other hand sounds OK to me.
LSB/FHS seems to suggest /var/lib for this purpose unless there is yet
another more specific requirement I didn't find while browsing it.

In view of https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-01/msg00034.html, I'll use
/var/lib/texmf/postinstall for the postinstall markers.  I'm attaching revised
cygport patches.

I applied and pushed patches 1 and 3; given the texlive/fontconfig
discussion, does 2 still apply?

Not as it stands. But for users who have chosen to make the TeX Live fonts available to fontconfig (by creating a symlink as discussed in the other thread), I think I should keep the font caches up to date. I'll send a revised patch tomorrow that does this.
