Rubber - Building system for LaTeX documents

Rubber is a building system for LaTeX documents. It is based on a routine that runs only as many compilations as necessary. The module system provides a great flexibility that virtually allows support for any package with no user intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of the document. The standard modules currently provide support for bibtex, dvips, pdftex, makeindex, cweb, and graphics/graphicx.
