No this has the same issue as the Makefile.  "It's not as easy as latex".
I want *one* coherent file with all the necessary instructions, that can
be edited in different program from Emacs, and be easily compiled.

E.g. I wrote syntax highlight for Org in texworks, but I also want to make
the "green button" work easily as latex without too many ugly hacks.

A makefile or a ox-project is great for the pros.  Unfortunately not
everyone is...

Makefiles and projects is the tool better for multi-file projects.
