Howdy,

Is there any reason you can't just build a `tool' that uses shell escape and call it, e.g., pdflatex-se? Then when you need it you have the line

% !TEX program = pdflatex-se

at the top of the file and just use

% !TEX program = pdflatex

for those files that don't need a shell escape.

Good Luck,
