 I downloaded and installed ruby 1.8.4 from sunfreeware.com, and now 
 I can at least use the texmfstart command. I ran texmfstart texexec

path maddness ... i assume that the unset is the engine part

texexec should use the first writable path out of these; and then use an 
engine subpath

i've never seen that one

 So, it seems to be working. Now, I try to generate a test document which 
 I normally use to test my setup with the features I use most frequently, 
 and everything works except including graphics. I have a set of pdf 
 graphics which I normally modify on a per-project basis, and they go on 
 the cover page of my documents. The document seems to be complete, and I 
 don't see any inclusion errors in the log. But I do see some new errors 
 about underfull/overfull which I have not seen previously, and I don't 
 know how to interpret them. Anyone want to take a stab at figuring out 
 what's wrong?


   
overfull/undefull boxes depend on settings; they may be harmless

is hyphenation working?

It's very useful.  Here's a sample run of pdftex with that option,
which makes the error output match the format that most language
compilers use (e.g. gcc).

So you can run tex in an Emacs *compilation* buffer (with M-x
compileCR) and Emacs can parse all the errors (C-x `) and take you
to them one by one.
