More notes from Karl (quoted text is me):

> explicitly, then all bets are off).

More thoughts for the tracker item on putting mp into shell_escape_commands:

- somehow have to arrange to ensure tex is invoked with paranoid
  settings -- we don't enable tex itself, at present.

- probably need to arrange that MPXCOMMAND is not read from anywhere,
  but just uses a hardwired default.

We can think more about this over the year. Heiko and/or Alexander
Cherepanov sent several messages to tex-live regarding enabling tex back
in fall 2009 when we were first thinking to enable restricted \write18.

Thanks,
k
