in that case it would be a directive in texmfcnf.lua (probably in the 
texmflocal instance) but when unset there still will be the default

no one is forced to use --autopdf and if someone doesn't want to pop up 
a browser one can simply nto use --autopdf

keep in mind that when a user uses --autopdf he/she probably knows what 
is needed can can as well pass some extra info
