Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AutoLaTeX is a set of GNU Make and Perl scripts that permits to compile 
LaTeX projects.  AutoLaTeX automates the compilation process by calling
(pdf)latex and bibtex as they are required. It supports pdflatex, latex, 
dvips, epstopdf and bibtex.  AutoLaTeX provides a powerfull feature for 
automatic generation of the figures that are included in the LaTeX 
project. For several figure sources (xfig, dia, umbrello, png, svg, 
xmi...) AutoLaTeX is able to generate the appropriate PDF picture. 
AutoLaTeX also support pstex format generation (from xfig and gnuplot 
for example).

The use of AutoLaTeX on the command line is similar to GNU Make. 
AutoLaTeX should be called with several targets to run.
