RE: -output-directory

Hi Fabrice,

That is an excellent option. Very useful.

However, I think I have located one problem. Where does latex grab the *.aux file from?
Let say you have

src\file.tex
src\file.aux
out\file.dvi
out\file.aux

latex -output-directory out/ src/file.aux

from the src\ or the out\ directory?  In my opinion out\file.aux should have
preference over all other files. Right? But that does not seem to be the case!

[Just to inform you I trying to add proper latex support to otherwise fantastic make replacement tool
Sons (see www.scons.org).]
