One way to do this, then, would be (a) to define a new file format, call
it pdfx (more or less copy over the definition of the PDF (pdflatex)
format, but making that one change from pdf2 to pdfx) and then define a
custom converter for latex --> pdfx. The one for latex --> pdf2 is:
pdflatex $$i
so you'd have to get the quotes right, etc, to make that work.
Not ideal, I know. But if we fix this, it will be 2.1 before the fix is
out, since it will definitely change the file format (probably of layout
files).
