texify ignores engine option

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
blub
\end{document}

compiled with texify --engine=luatex --verbose texify-test.tex gives

C:\Users\micro\Documents\Tests>texify --engine=luatex --verbose texify-test.tex
processing texify-test.tex...
backing up xref files: texify-test.aux
running latex C:/Users/micro/Documents/Tests\texify-test.tex...
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.27 (MiKTeX 25.4) (preloaded format=latex.fmt)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
.....
Output written on texify-test.dvi (1 page, 248 bytes).

With texify --engine=luatex --pdf texify-test.tex lualatex is used and produces a pdf.

The same happens with xetex.

help text is wrong

The help text for the --pdf option says

-p, --pdf     Use pdftex or pdflatex for processing.

That is as shown above obviously wrong, --pdf seems to set the output mode (not quite sure what is should do with xetex).
