If you work under UNIX and cannot set this because your admin is against
it, you may overrule it using a shell (environment) variable: export
shell_escape=t / setenv shell_escape t.
If you work under Windows* you should be able to set it yourself (don't
know about NT), but I think it should work there as well.
