If you're doing LateX documents and like Makefile's you might take a 
look at latex-mk (http://latex-mk.sf.net).  It is a set of makefile 
fragments along with a couple of wrapper scripts.  It manages 
dependencies and all the building needed for complex documents.

A basic LaTeX document, mydoc.tex, just needs a Makefile that looks like:

-------

NAME= mydoc

# the exact syntax and file depends on GNU make vs BSD make
# BSD
.include "/usr/local/share/latex-mk/latex.mk"
# GNU
#include "/usr/local/share/latex-mk/latex.gmk"

-------

Now you get standard targets like 'pdf', 'view', 'clean'. etc.  There is 
support for  lots of other things like multiple documents in the same 
directory, multiple .tex files, generated .tex files, lgrind, tgif, 
xfig, etc.  When you run across something special thats not already 
directly supported by latex-mk, you can usually add some rules to your 
project Makefile.  I pretty much won't even consider a LaTeX document 
without latex-mk.
