I was wondering about that. Also when exporting png, having a filename  
with .tex .texi .ps .ly and .eps will be overwritten. Should I check  
for these files in export_pxx_action? If so the user may be confused  
that filename.eps is causing a conflict when there is no filename.png.

The only things using g_spawn_sync is convert-ly. Everything else is  
async. I can construct the resulting filenames and then check for them  
so they are not overwritten. Would that fix it?
