I did this, but 'cont-usr.tex' is never included (windows minimal).
The file 'core-job.tex' should do this but it is itself not included.

Is 'core-job.tex' not needed?

'cont-sys.tex' has a commented entry
\runMPgraphicstrue
uncommenting this works.

There is also a variable \runMPTEXgraphicstrue.
What is this for? Should this be uncommented, too?

Will this be overwritten with the next update?
