Subject: Incorrect detection of TeX variant
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 16:40:45 +0000

It's not so much that AmS-TeX is detected, as the amstex processor is
still part of TeXLive (and I presume other distributions as well), but
when AmS-TeX is detected and the option to produce PDF output is
selected, the command that is invoked is pdfamstex, which does not
exist at all, anywhere.
