No answer for about a week. Ok, ahead I will go.

but first, sometime the latex should be run twice, (or 3rd time?), correct? Can I tell it from the return code of the latex?

How can I tell when to launch the bibtex? ...

Latex Make File

Somewhere -- I have no idea where, now -- I came across a Makefile for LaTeX. The name at the top of it is Stefan van den Oord, who seems to have been a student in the Netherlands. I've slightly modified it [...]

I can't seem to find this file anywhere on the web any more (after a cursory search with google), so I'll include it here... warning, it's a bit long (~330 lines) [...]

The problem I found about this 330 lines makefile is that it is still not smart enough to handle all problems like references, citations, indexes, etc...
