By the way, the solution is simple:
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
%commands for pdf mode
\else %optional

but in many cases (e.g. hyperref) it isn't needed it all, since the
packages detect it correctly themselves.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll put that somewhere in our package
documentation. But I'll keep the bug open so that people can easily
find it.
