pdf-mode

[Peter Münster]

Hello Hans,
I've just read your mmodes.pdf. Very helpful, thanks!
Could you also add a pdf-mode?
For now, I'm doing it like this:
\input ifpdf.sty
\ifpdf
 \enablemode[pdf]
\fi
Cheers, Peter

I'll add \jobsuffix as systemmode:

\startmode[*pdf] ...
\startmode[*dvi] ...

be aware of the fact that this is only true when a driver is loaded

I never was sure of that, by the way:

the true output of a xetex job is .xdv
It's an opaque format that gets transformed into .pdf after texexec's
last run. 

Is the real jobsuffix (as you define it) pdf or xdv?

interesting point, i'd say pdf since that's the final format, and in this case 
the jobsuffix is an indication of final functionality
