I don't like the flavor thing, because it seems to hardcode part of the conversion based on the name of some converter in the path(?). Can we have different buffer backends (i.e. different formats), one for each flavour (latex-for-pdf, latex-for-ps, etc), and let the shortpath search decide which one to choose? Note that I don't understand exactly why is it needed, so I may be talking nonsense.
