Hello Wolfgang and others,
Has anyone ever managed to use "\useMPlibrary[txt]" in the last two or
three years?

I've written to the author of pstoedit exactly two years ago, when
pstoedit v. 3.40 was indeed broken (approved by the author). He sent
me a patch, but I didn't know how to compile the program, and I never
tested it since then.
Hans claimed that version 3.33 worked for him (and others approved
that downgrading worked), but it didn't work for me, since I would
need an older GS version as well.
Here some infinite loop occurs when I call
pstoedit -ssp -dt -f mpost mpy-bla-mpgraph.pdf mpy-bla-mpgraph.tmp
(which is what ConTeXt does in line 328 of makempy.pl)
I have no dea whether that's pdtoedit's or ghostscript's problem. I
hope that the author of pstoedit will reply and figure out what the
problem could be.
