Any reason why we can't just offer the user the option of a "custom  
script" in the popup, with a text field next to it for them to write  
the full path to the script? Then, I think, users should be able to  
port their "engines" from TeXShop just fine. (Btw, I think your use  
of the word "engine" in the menu might be slightly different than  
TeXShop's).

In other words, just like they now select latexmk.pl, they should be  
allowed to type an arbitrary path to a shell script there. (That was  
in fact the point of the TM_LATEX_COMPILER variable).

Btw, why is latexmk.pl an option in the popup? Is it independent of  
the four options there?
