Here's what I do for building LaTeX files:
Depends $env 'grammar.dvi', 'grammar.toc';
Command $env 'grammar.dvi', 'grammar.tex', 'latex %<';
Command $env 'grammar.ps', 'grammar.dvi', 'dvips -f %< >%>';
Obviously, this can be improved on. Such as a better way of handling .toc
files (currently you need to echo>filename.toc before this will work), and
encapsulating all these explicit dependencies into a sub, so that you can
easily reuse it for large numbers of LaTeX files.
