1.20a)

Hi,
I have a question relating to \pdfmapfile and format file creation
(MiKTeX pdfTeX 1.20a-rc4).
Should it be possible to use the \pdfmapfile directive while creating a
pdflatex format file? In other words, is the following practicable:
pdftex -ini mypdftex.tex
with mypdftex.tex:
\scrollmode
\pdfoutput=1
\catcode`{=1
\catcode`}=2
\pdfmapfile{abc}
\input latex.ltx
Currently (MiKTeX 1.20a-rc4), the mapfile info doesn't make it into the
format file, i.e., \pdfmapfile has no effect here. Is this a MiKTeX specific
bug? Or is it by design, that we cannot compile map file info into the
format file?
-Christian
