Carsten,

your mail has been received (at least by me) and is still there in my 
mailbox. I just haven't had time to look further into it to reply (you're 
asking pretty difficult questions! I don't understand half of what you're 
saying! I must admit whe it comes to .map files I'm a complete newbie. I 
tried once to learn about them and ended up more frustated than anything 
else. And since MiKTeX handles everything automatically and transparently, 
I didn't go any further... yet...). So don't worry, it has not been taken 
as spam :) .

As for not receiving any digests, I guess that since your post has been the 
last one until now, you can't expect to receive anything :) . The list is 
just in one of those periods of calm before the storm. I was kind of hoping 
your post would bring such a storm, but it seems you raised up questions 
that are just too hard for us and we are too ashamed to admit we can't help 
;)) .

I'm still planning to look further and possibly learn enough about .map 
files to answer your questions, but it will take a while. Have patience! :)

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
