Hi Werner,

Are you sure about this?  Looking at one of my `make all' logs, the
following two lines appear, once for each .mf file (of course with
feta13.mf, etc.):

MFINPUTS=. mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; nonstopmode; input feta11.mf;"
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.6)

This all happens before any occurrence of `mpost'.

Patrick
