No need for elatex when using etex.sty ?

[Christophe Garion]

Hello,

I use rubber to produce PDF output of slides written using beamer. When using also tikz and other packages, I need to use the etex package to increase the number of available registers. In this case, rubber choose automatically elatex as program.

Unfortunately, elatex is not available on my distribution (Debian squeeze). Moreover, it seems to me that on all my examples, pdflatex is sufficient to compile my sources using etex.sty.

Is there a way to disable etex.rub as a module ? For the moment I use -e 'set program pdflatex' in my rubber command.

Thanks in advance,

Christophe

The etex module will be gone from rubber 1.3.
