well, it's not that pdftex cq. xetex are not supported, but more that 
mtxrun defaults to luatex / mkiv (just as texexec defaults to pdftex) 
and *i* want to default to luatex (no matter how much you blackmail me)

users can

% engine=pdftex
% engine=xetex

at the top of their document if they want and mtxrun will then run 
texexec instead

if users want syntex on they can enable it with

\synctex=1
