newtexexec: post-processing pdf-files

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

I mentioned this earlier but had only now time to look into it: there  
appears to be a bug in newtexexec, it bombs out when I try to post- 
process pdf-files. Here's a log:

And I get a similar error (with apparently some Japanese  
characters...) when I try to run pdfcombine.

hm, looks like it reads the pdf file as being a tex file 
                   }

ah, i remember now (by looking in the source) ... it's --select now, no 
reason for a pdf prefix; i'll probably provide a backward compatible 
feature but had no time to do it yet

Yup, works now! Adding a backward compatible dummy would be nice...
