Not *nontrivial* perhaps . . .

It's part of a (still ongoing) attempt to write a makefile that
handles compiling TeX files, where you've got to re-do the processing
an arbitrary number of times until the output settles down: I've
currently got a makefile that touches marker files depending on
various conditions and then re-invokes itself. But some of the phases
don't take very long to run, so sometimes things don't get re-compiled
when they should. Actually, I should probably be more delicate than to
discuss it in public . . . it's *really* foul. Then again, if it ever
works, it'll all of a sudden be beautiful :-)
