TODO

1. Fix-up pack_tlmgr_install-tl.sh to include missing dependencies from tlmgr_modules.txt and install-tl_modules.txt
2. Test staticperl operation
3. Explore polyfilling backtick/system perl calls, especially of kpsewhich (and maybe of tar/xz extraction) - can be done in process

Perl static/embedding experiments for busytex

1. Compile static Perl embedding updmap.pl and fmtutil.pl
2. Compile dynamic Perl embedding tlmgr
3. Compile static Perl calling tlmgr: https://github.com/TeX-Live/installer/blob/master/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
4. Compile dynamic Perl embedding biber https://github.com/plk/biber
5. Compile static Perl embedding biber
