Attempt to tag install-tl-unx

This does NOT fit into 'works properly', nor into 'not tested'.

I've tried

ln -sv /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1

but on my system that complains about GLIBC~_2.2.

iAlso, dvisvgm does not work properly on my tests which worked
in last August, it reports

The old, written in PostScript, PDF interpreter has been removed entirely.
You should cease using -dNEWDPF as it has no effect npre-processing DVI
file (format version 2)

And although svg files were produced, they missed some details.

I will find out later this week whether my test files need to be
updated for current dvisvgm *after* I have built TL2023 source.
