I think we could reach an agreement and let texexec config files
go (or be allowed to go) in the %texmf%/miktext/config folder.
Sounds pretty sensible to me. And of course, when multiple trees
are available, the order of search should be the same as standard
MiKTeX does. Can Hans work this out with Christian?
DA> for miktex set TeXPassString to --alias=context
I really wonder if the above is needed. Can someone really please
explain what the --alias command is used for?
I also add --terminal=oem, so that accented characters display
correctly. I decided *not* to pass the --src-special string as
well because there is a "bug" (not really a bug) in MiKTeX (any
version, AFAIK), so that pdf-variants of TeX don't ignore the
--src-specials. pdfTeX, when outputting PDF, echoes "Non-PDF
special ignored!" for each non-PDF special it meets. Which is
fine. But --src-specials *should* be ignored silenty (or, even
bettern, in PDF-production mode the --src-special flag should be
ignored).
DA> for miktex set MpBatchFlag to --interaction=batchmode
IIRC, there was a bug in MiKTeX 2.0 where MetaPost *lacked* the
interaction mode flag.
