this first step runs with res=0, but there is no 'plain.mem' dumped.
(I have temporary appended 'dump;' to plain.mp)
this first step runs with res=0 with mp:execute('mpost'), but no 
'mpost.mem'
the first step even runs with res=0 and mp:execute('\\plain; dump;'), 
but no 'plain.mem'

after that I produced 'plain.mem' executing
'texmfstart texexec --make plain'

this second step returns res=3.

Is there a find_file function necessary to find the mem-file given in 
'mem_name' or is such a function only necessary for file-names in 
'mp:execute'?
