can do the same for you, but as said .. if the minimals would have plain formats they would default to dvi anyway so it would be of no help to you
pdftex.fmt and mpost.mem would be perfectly fine. No need for plain.fmt (I guess). (And maybe xetex.fmt as a sugar, although that one might need some additional files.) It might be extremely simple to generate format the way you describe above, but perhaps texexec --make pdftex mpost xetex could have done the the same job instead (since people are used to it)? Mojca
