Yes I don't see any easy syntactic way of correctly detecting that.  
And it's a good thing to try to detect it.

Thank you Hari,

Yes it works with that directive.

However, that's how I was expecting the LaTeX bundle preferences to  
work (I mean one day I was playing with pdftricks, it took me HUGE  
amount of time to debug on why it was passing through DVI, while the  
whole point was to avoid that - until I took a look at the compile  
scripts). Now I'll grant you that, now that I am reading the bundle  
documentation on that part, it's clearly stated :)

Do you think there could be another preference for specifying whether  
we want a strict or a fallback setting for the engine?
