As mentioned before, that didn't help.

Obviously, texexec insists to call a comman named "metafun". I have
created an executable file with that name in the path which just
contains one line:
mpost --progname mpost \&metafun $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6

Admittedly not nice, but it seems to work, since mp graphics are
generated, without any changes to texexec.rme/ini. However, I still get
a strange message

This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.4.3)
**
! End of file on the terminal... why?

during the texexec run. So something is not quite ok, but I really don't
know what.
