I don't understand what you mean by this.
If you edit /usr/local/teTeX/bin/thumbpdf by adding the two lines:
eval 'exec perl -wS $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if $running_under_some_shell;
immediately after the #!/usr/bin/perl line, and then try running it
using the exec command from your wrapper, what happens? Do you still
get the program dying?
But I guess using a configure script is the best way to do it.
