Yes and no, since i don't want users to take care of such fuzzy code. I'm
thinking of some kind of special like driver modules but it is not so clean
within the concept of specials (actually, i'm awaiting some web2c
extensions concerning running pros, which was discussed some time some
where but never really implemented).  

Actually, the code is fall-back code since texexec generates the miktex
specific code in the runtime setup file and texexec knows what tex is used.

Btw, the dvips is not so specific -)
