This isn't very robust -- sometimes it's too much, sometimes not
enough. In the boot-floppies/documentation area I have a kinda
elaborate way to invoke TeX -> dvi tools in exactly the right number
of times.
%.pdf: %.tex
-cp -pf prior.aux pprior.aux
-cp -pf $(shell basename $< .tex).aux prior.aux
kpsewhich pdflatex.fmt > /dev/null
# due to a bug in debiandoc2latex2e output, this might fail
-pdflatex '\nonstopmode\input{$<}'
set -e ;\
if ! cmp $(shell basename $< .tex).aux prior.aux && \
! cmp $(shell basename $< .tex).aux pprior.aux && \
expr $(MAKELEVEL) '<' $(MAX_TEX_RECURSION); then \
rm -f $@ ;\
$(MAKE) $@ ;\
fi
rm -f prior.aux pprior.aux
That will recurse as often as necessary.

This is a pet peeve because I'm a virgo, I guess. rm -f won't fail,
so the use of '-rm' is redundant, and not what you want. It works of
course.
