Other (previous?) versions just called texexec, without problems.
Since adding backslashes esp. for linux is not a particularly nice
solution, perhaps someone on Dos or Win could try if this works:
system ("pdftex '&mptopdf \relax $file'")
That would remove the need for extra backslashes. I'm not sure if
command.com ignores these single quotes, though.
