I understand now.  How can I specify rules for tools such as latex2html 
which produce numerous output files?  latex2html produces WARNINGS, 
index.html, internals.pl, labels.pl, input_file_name.html, and 
input_file_name.css from input_file_name.tex.  I have only found a use 
for the HTML output bearing the same basename as the input TeX file and 
wish to treat the others as intermediate.

Thank you,
