New description:
The view command states that the pdflatex argument is deprecated and that
one should use the engine argument instead.
But if one sets engine="pdflatex", it is overwritten, and so one currently
needs to use the deprecated pdflatex option.

Apply [attachment:trac_11311-rebased.patch],

Comment(by jhpalmieri):
I'm attaching a referee patch which removes the code duplication referred
to above.
Karl-Dieter: the program "sage-open", as defined in sage/misc/viewer.py,
should be used to open the output file. Before the patch here, it was
called with `output_file` set to "sage.dvi" or something like that. After
the patch, it is called with `output_file` set to "sage.pdf". So any
difference in what program is being used is because this is producing a
pdf file, not a dvi file.
I'd like to change this from "needs info" to "positive review". Is that
okay?
