more precise ... context always supported positional info in both pdf
and dvi mode; at some point pdftex provided positional info only in pdf
mode, now also in dvi mode (which reminds me to look into it), but xetex
and aleph still need the special + dvipos based alternative (actually,
dvipos used to be a perl script by taco and was later made into a
program by Chof; it was always part of the windows web2c binary package).
