KerTeX is functional but is in early stages.
Until all is here (this means MetaPost and Bibtex), I will not put
extra time in... the documentation, since the mapping you are displeased
with is set by variables replaced at config time (and that can be
defined differently when calling the rkconfig), and you can provide
an absolutely different mapping by providing a different map.
There is a difference between the macro and the dumps: the dumps are
machine dependent since they are compiled macros. So, by default, they
go in a machine dependent sub-directory. Once more, this can be changed
by user.
These will be addressed (perhaps simply by saying: NO!) but later.
For changing the behavior of TeX, the answer is: TeX shall behave
exactly like documented in the TeXbook (same for METAFONT). If I have
introduced something that is not here, it will go. If it is in the book,
it will stay. The interactive session, is in the book.
