[tex-live] mysterious mpost problem

    - A partial solution is to always require the -progname for tex, mf,
      mpost if a different progname than the name of the program is
      desired.  This is easy to implement, though it may break backward
      compatibility...  

You mean, no longer try to infer the progname from -mem=foo?

I don't see an overwhelming reason to break compatibility in this
respect, so, all other things being equal, let's not.  Documenting the
need for -progname when in doubt seems sufficient?
