I installed TeXLive x86_64-darwin on Mountain Lion. I do not use the
MacTeX distro.
When I try to install amstex with tlmgr, I get the following stuff
that I didn't see when I used universal-darwin:
tlmgr: package repository http://ctan.math.utah.edu/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
[1/2, ??:??/??:??] install: amstex.x86_64-darwin [1k]

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`pdftex -ini -jobname=amstex -progname=amstex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *amstex.ini' failed
tlmgr: exiting unsuccessfully (status 1).
But there is no log file there about amstex!
