 Yes.  I'm wary of stomping over another program's defaults though,
 particularly when I don't actually know how the various TeX configuration
 knobs interact with one another.
 
 Perhaps something like this, in jadetex/Makefile
 
     IS_INTERACTIVE= "user must set PATCHEDTEX variable"
 
     .if empty(PATCHEDTEX) && (make(build) || make(install))
     .BEGIN:
             @${CAT} files/PATCHTEX
             @${FALSE}
     .endif
 
 where jadetex/files/PATCHTEX says
 
     JadeTeX may require you to increase the size of certain defaults in
     TeX before it will build correctly.  We recommend you edit
     $PREFIX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, and ensure that the following
     parameters have values *at least* as high as this.
 
        hash_extra  = 60000
        pool_size   = 1000000
        max_strings = 70000
        save_size   = 10000
 
     when you have done this, run "make -DPATCHTEX install" to build and
     install JadeTeX.
 
 and remove the similar text from the post-install MESSAGE.
 
 Having said that, if the teTeX maintainer (who I've cc'd on this) is happy
 with it then a patch-aa for teTeX that did this anyway would be a better
 approach.
