I'm glad that the Linux-Unix-Debian-pdftex contingent can now sleep soundly. I 
also see exactly how the new PMX etex-demanding commands got into the mix (when 
the embedded examples were compiled with mtx/pmx).

But there are still a few mysteries I'd like to pursue, for my own satisfaction 
if nothing else.

They start with what happens when I try to compile mtxdoc according to Dirk's 
instructions. I didn't think makefiles had a place in the Windows command 
window, but to my surprise, when I unzipped mtxD060.zip and blindly typed

make dvitarget && make config

as instructed, I did not get nothing. Instead, I got

ln -sf make-dvi make-target
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), ln -sf make-dvi make-target, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [dvitarget] Error 2

Verry interesting, but from this point on I'm clueless on this path.  However, 
just for laughs I will try to compile the document using commands I do know 
about such as 

for %a in (*.mtx) do prepmx %a

At the moment the next mystery is how to similarly send just the basenames as 
arguments to the musixflx command. Or maybe it'll work on *.mx1 ?
