what about switching to new way in TeX Live? it doesn't contain your
frontends; you may still distribute old altpdf*** files in your
distribution?
to switch to new calling convention, it is sufficient to change
calledas=`basename "$0"`
in the beginning of the script to
calledas="altpdf$1"
shift
(and update doc strings).
