ah, i can remove that test because i don't think that nowadays anyone is 
using startdocument (old functionality to build styles for letters, 
stickers, etc)

or

texexec --modu char-utf.tex

thinking of it ... i add this feature to one of the mtx-* files because:

(1) the whole conversion can be done in memory so no intermediate file
