My intention was not to follow TeXShop. I think of latex, pdflatex, xelatex
as different typesetting engines. But, there may be a better word that we

I didn't put it in the popup because its not the same thing as the others.
Plus, potentially latexmk.pl could be instructed to use the engine specified
by the popup.
