Both tests and documentation creation depend on various .fmt and .sty
files from the texlive package, so texlive-bin would not be enough it

Do you mean "package" rather than "output"? I had tried doing a
separate output originally. The issue is that the 'asy' binary in "out"
ends up with a reference to the "doc" output for the 'help' command in
its interactive mode.

Attached is an updated patch suitable for master that adds a
libgc-for-c++ since it's a semi-private package. Is this alright, or
should it be two patches?
