I strongly suggest you to use pdfetex, since that way you got quite some
goodies for free

You may change this in supp-pdf.tex 

\ifx\pdftexversion\undefined
  \writestatus{\m!systems}{Why not use pdf(e)TeX binaries?}
  \protect\expandafter\endinput
\fi

\ifnum\pdftexversion>13 % \else removed 

...

\fi  % one \fi removed ! 

I'll fix it in the next version. BTW, you can set the preferred tex binary
in texexec.ini.
