Description Josef Karthauser 2002-01-05 23:40:00 UTC
	Sometimes it's useful to be able to post process the tex
	file before a pdf or ps, etc, is made from it.  This patch
	defines a new variable TEX_POSTPROCESS, in which you can
	define the name of a filter command that can be used to
	process the tex file if required.

As discussed with Joe on the phone, a better approach to this is to
define a set of pre- and post- targets for each stage of the process, so
that individual Makefiles can put in their commands as necessary -- in
the same way that the ports system does.

For the moment, keep this PR open, in the hope that someone has the
cycles to tackle it.

We do not use TeX any more in the rendering process.  Thanks for your 
contribution, though.
