To the best of my knowledge, none of the admins changed the script. I will
attach the script to this message.

# Thomas Esser, Copyright 1998, 1999. Public domain.
# fmtutil.cnf: configuration file for fmtutil.
# Customize this file to your needs, e.g.
# - remove or uncomment formats that you don't need
# - add your own formats
# - change default engine / flags for standard formats
# Some notes:
# 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization.
# You can have you own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg)
# formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of
# plain.tex (see e.g. bplain.ini file for bplain format).
#
# 2) etex loads language.def, not language.dat.
#
# 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex)
# will be generated by the "texlinks" script. So, if you call
# fmtutil "by hand" and not via texconfig, please also call
# texlinks afterwards.
#
# 4) usual commenta start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations
# start with "#! " in this file.
# The format of the table is:
# format engine pattern-file arguments
# The last part of "arguments" must be the name of the file to run
# initex (or another "ini"-engine) on.
# metafont and metapost:
mf mf-nowin - mf.ini
mpost mpost - mpost.mp
metafun mpost - metafun.mp
# Standard formats (plain, latex) with all engines:
# Change "tex.ini -> bplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in tex:
tex tex - tex.ini
# Change "etex -> tex" and "*latex.ini -> latex.ini" to get back
# the traditional, non-eTeX-2 enabled LaTeX format named latex.
# Analogous changes can be made for pdflatex.
latex tex language.dat latex.ini
latex etex language.dat *latex.ini
etex etex language.def *etex.ini
elatex etex language.dat *elatex.ini
# Change "pdftex.ini -> pdfbplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in pdftex:
pdftex pdftex - pdftex.ini
pdflatex pdftex language.dat pdflatex.ini
pdflatex pdfetex language.dat *pdflatex.ini
pdfetex pdfetex language.def *pdfetex.ini
pdfelatex pdfetex language.dat *pdfelatex.ini
omega omega - omega.ini
lambda omega language.dat lambda.ini
# The amstex format:
# Change "amstex.ini -> bamstex.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in amstex:
amstex tex - amstex.ini
# Change "pdfamstex.ini -> pdfbamstex.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in pdfamstex:
#! pdfamstex pdftex - pdfamstex.ini
# Context formats:
#! cont-cz pdfetex cont-usr.tex *cont-cz.ini
#! cont-de pdfetex cont-usr.tex *cont-de.ini
cont-en pdfetex cont-usr.tex *cont-en.ini
#! cont-nl pdfetex cont-usr.tex *cont-nl.ini
#! cont-uk pdfetex cont-usr.tex *cont-uk.ini
# language-specific things:
# - Cyrillic:
#! cyrtex tex language.dat cyrtex.ini
#! cyrtexinfo tex language.dat cyrtxinf.ini
#! cyramstex tex language.dat cyramstx.ini
# - Polish:
#! platex tex language.dat platex.ini
#! pdfplatex pdftex language.dat pdfplatex.ini
#! mex tex mexconf.tex mex.ini
#! pdfmex pdftex mexconf.tex pdfmex.ini
#! pdfemex pdfetex mexconf.tex *pdfemex.ini
# - Polish with translated messages (experimental):

#! mex-pl tex mexconf.tex nls=tex-pl,il2-pl mex.ini
#! pdfmex-pl pdftex mexconf.tex nls=pdftex-pl,il2-pl pdfmex.ini
