retitle -1 Cannot create dvi and PostScript documentation: buggy \pdfoutput test
thanks
The error is a simple typo in use.tex:

However, there are more problems in this LaTeX source: It has a buggy
test for PDF output, and will never create DVI or PostScript even if
that is requested. This is not release critical, since it is not used.
The attached patch fixes this. It uses the package ifpdf for performing
the test, but probably it is not even needed to make a distinction,
since by default graphicx.sty and hyperref.sty will do the detection
themselves and do the right thing. However, there are probably some
other instances of \ifpdf usage in the document (in particular,
somewhere the syntax for the obsolete epsfig package must be switched on
in the dvi case), therefore I left it in. Here's the patch:
