oops, sorry didn't know that. Simple solution is to use either your
pdf(e)tex.min or pregenerated pdf(e)tex.man delivered together with the
.m4 source. But the .man is already outdated e. g. regarding .efmt, and
pdfetex.man should mention also Petr Olsak. What would you prefer:
Either use yours, or I would try (this week) to combine your with my
cruft :-) version? (just to avoid double work)

Best Regards
