Does makempy.pl need acroread to work ?


well, we can comment the line so that users can tweak it themselves: 


#   "acrobat" => \$amethod , # nowadays the reader is not that clear about 
this being permitted

i don't think it's a real problem since providing a pdf -> ps switch in acroread otherwise makes no sense: a shell is a program, if written to a file one needs a program to handle it afterwards, etc 


looks more like some precaution for real big misuse

No, it only uses acroread when it is called with --acroread
explicitly (default is ghostscript). However, perhaps that
switch should be removed if actually using it is illegal.
