This package provides several tools that aim to simplify the compilation of LaTeX documents:

• LaTeX.mk: a Makefile snippet to help compiling LaTeX documents in DVI, PDF, PS, … format. Dependencies are automatically tracked: one should be able to compile documents with a one-line Makefile containing 'include LaTeX.mk'. Complex documents (with multiple bibliographies, indexes, glossaries, …) should be correctly managed.
• figlatex.sty: a LaTeX package to easily insert xfig figures (with \includegraphics{file.fig}). It can interact with LaTeX.mk so that the latter automatically invokes transfig if needed.
• And various helper tools for LaTeX.mk

This package requires GNUmake (>= 3.81).
