TeX Live 2014: Notes for FreeBSD users

[Yanhui Shen]

Thanks Nikola!

texlive 2012 in ports system at least has two issues:
1.lualatex has this bug: http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=769
2.context is unusable without a little hacking with "mtxrun.lua"

> So I think the texlive-texmf should update. Texlive-base 2012 works for me.
