didn't do anything.

- Fixed a bug with GNU make draft output.
- Put the actual installation prefix into the manual.

Release Notes for LaTeX-Mk-1.7
------------------------------
- Added support for makeindex. Suggested by Antoine Reilles who provided a preliminary
patch.
- Added a --help flag to the latex-mk script and documented the script a bit more
there. It seems that some users are using the latex-mk script only and not the makefile
system. Suggested by Reuben Thomas.
- Added the ability in the latex-mk script to work with a read only current directory
and use the TEXMFOUTPUT environment variable to control where the real output goes.
Suggested by Reuben Thomas.
* When using tex2page or HeVeA for html output, do not force the running of LaTeX. With latex2html,
LaTeX will still be run because latex2html makes use of the .aux files generated by LaTeX.
* Fixed a bug where if the BibTeX input file was modified LaTeX would be run again but not BibTeX.
* Added a --tex2page mode for latex-mk (the script) which allows latex-mk to run tex2page the
appropriate number of times to resolves all references.
* Improve the cleaning of tex2page generated output.
* Added latex.subdir.mk to support recursive builds.
* Added support for lgrind.
* Added a dist target for creating a distribution archive of all source files.
* Added support for using tex2page for html output.
* When using pdflatex, directly convert tgif and xfig drawings to PDF instead
of to encapsulated postscript.
* When using pdflatex, do not create @file{.dvi} files as part of the default
target.
* Added a LANDSCAPE variable which when set will add landscape flags to various
tools.
* Make the default flag for exporting xfig drawings to encapsulated postscript
be -L eps instead of -L ps.
This version fixes installation on case-insensitive file systems as well
as a bug where bibtex did not get run properly when the .tex file had
no explicit \cite{}'s but rather used \nocite{}.
Latex-Mk is a set of makefile fragments and shell scripts designed
to assist in the management of LaTeX documents. The user creates
a simple Makefile which sets up a few simple variables and then
includes the latex.mk fragment at the end.
LaTeX-Mk provides easy targets such as 'view', 'pdf', 'print',
and 'clean'. Additional features such as multiple top level
documents with some shared and some unique dependencies and
draft watermark output are included.
LaTeX-Mk works with BSD make and also with GNU make.
