I finally found out what was wrong - there _was_ a tangleboot.h and a 
tangleboot.c file in the web2c-5.851c distribution (both with zero byte size)
which prevented make from rebuliding the tangleboot.[hc] files.  After
removing these two files, everything compiled fine.

But now I have a new problem.  initex (and virtex) will not search the
TEXFONTS and TEXINPUTS directories recursivley.  As far as I have found
out they should do that if a path ended with a double slash, ie that

       #define TEXFONTS   "/usr/local/tex/lib/fonts//:."

in ./lib/site.h should make initex and virtex search all directories below 
/usr/local/tex/lib/fonts/ and /usr/local/tex/lib/fonts/ itself.  That does
not happen.

Can anyone please help me with this!
