So that might be a clue about what's happening.
We could try removing that check and just letting things
fail at the point where we try to run the tex program.
But the check is nice because we can give a more informative
message early on.
I am also using Windows pandoc in cygwin and cannot use tex/pdf export.
If current solution has specific merits maybe it would be better not to change it but add another pdfengine (or switch/option) which would skip this check?
