The altpdflatex is in fact just a wrapper script to call ps2pdf which
has two disadvantages compared two pdftex:
1. Any hypertext structure of the tex/dvi files is lost during the
postscript conversion, thus there won't be any links to chapters,
figures, citations etc. in the output.
2. The script contains a hardcoded path to gs and ps2pdf in
/usr/local/bin and thus does not work with the fink ghostscript
distribution. This should be fixed in the fink package.
