[TxMt] PDF LaTeX in beta6

I like the new changes to the pdflatex command. However, for it to work  
on my system I had to go back to Apple's apache rather then the apache  
2 WebServerXKit I installed. So I made a nominal change to the html  
path and include it here if anyone is interested:

# If PDF file is non-empty and apache is running, redirect.
if [ -s ${tmp}.pdf ] && [[ $(ps -xca|grep httpd) ]]; then
    cp "$tmp.pdf" /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/web_kit_workaround.pdf
    chmod 666 /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/web_kit_workaround.pdf
    echo  
"<script>window.location='http://localhost/web_kit_workaround.pdf'</ 
script>"
elif [ -s ${tmp}.pdf ]; then
    echo "<strong>Error: Apache not running (we can no longer redirect  
to file://localhost/...)</strong>"
else
    echo "<strong>Error: PDF file not written to disk</strong>"
fi

Otherwise, beta6 is working great in LaTeX
