NB: there's a closing paren missing in the add-to-list line.

Thanks for this (and the pointers that you - and others? - have
provided previously): it finally motivated me to try out minted.

One problem I ran into was that the version of minted.sty that I have
uses "which -s" to find pygmentize, ``which'' complains about -s and the
run fails. I ended up editing minted.sty to get rid of the -s and
everything works smoothly.

The version I have says

\ProvidesPackage{minted}[2010/01/27 v1.6 Yet another Pygments shim for LaTeX]

I checked CTAN and the most recent version is 1.7: that has excised the -s.
