textlive 2012: missing biber dependencies

Hi,

freshly updated cygwin with texlive installed. I can't even run "biber 
--help". This is the output:

$ biber --help
Can't locate PAR.pm in  <at> INC ( <at> INC contains: 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 .) at -e 
line 951.

I don't think there is a cygwin package for PAR.pm yet.

Regards,
   Sven

This is due to the packaging problem discussed here:

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-07/msg00081.html

I'll upload a fixed version of the texlive package soon.  In the 
meantime, you can replace /usr/bin/biber.exe with the following file:

   http://sanibeltranquility.com/biber.exe

Note: The first time you run biber, it will seem to be very slow. 
That's because it is unpacking an archive that contains, in effect, all 
the perl dependencies.

Slight change in plans: I've decided to move biber.exe to the 
texlive-collection-bibtexextra package so that I can more easily keep it 
in sync with biblatex without having to rebuild all the texlive 
binaries.  So watch for an update to texlive-collection-bibtexextra.
