Well, one advice I can give, based on brief reading of the code, is to keep in txutils-convert-alist only the program names, without the leading directories (e.g., "pdftotext" instead of "/usr/bin/pdftotext"), and use executable-find to find the program. This way, you will DTRT by default for more users on more platforms, and the only users that will need to customize txutils-convert-alist are those who install the utilities outside of their PATH.
