Thanks for the hints. I'll start with that texlive.tlpdb, using 
scheme-basic, as this includes collection-latex what seems needed.
I'll evaluate the singel packages from scheme-tetex, and the packages 
from the dependend collections.
Single packages sometimes have dependent packages. Is it right that 
these depends are mostly recommendations rather than hard dependencies?

When i've got something functional mostly equal to tetex3, i'll post the 
packages i used. Maybe a good test will be, to compile the tetex3 docs.
