this indeed assumes web2c mpost, if needed you can redefine: 

  \def\executeMPOST#1%
    {mpost
      \ifcase\interactionmode -int=batchmode \fi
      \ifuseMETAFUNformat -progname=mpost -mem=metafun \fi #1}

in your local syst-gen.tex and change it to miktex syntax. Maybe I should
make turn this into a special, and make a miktex driver. Must not forget
this.

eh, then why not use fabrices mpost? Has some nice fixes too [buffer
problems and better randomizer], i think that mpost from web2c can work ok
with miktex.

texexec can be told not to pass the string (for miktex set MpPassString to
"")
