Here is the answer from Taco we got, when requesting to include the
patch:

The patch would have to be a bit elaborated on before inclusion can
be considered, I believe. A random file named <whatever>.ps is highly
likely not to be metapost output at all. The extra functionality
would be cool to have, but mptopdf had better check if the .ps really
was created by metapost (by grepping for the
%%Creator comment).

Please be so kind to contact the directly and try to clarify this.

Many thanks,
