If you are familiar with make(1) and Makefiles, I would recommend giving
them a try. It should't be to big of a hassle to write one, and
latex-suite automatically uses the Makefile if it exists in your working
directory.
I think your Makefile would look like this (I did not test it, never
used nomenclature before):
all: mydoc.dvi
mydoc.dvi: mydoc.nls
latex -interaction=nonstopmode mydoc.tex
mydoc.nls: mydoc.nlo nomencl.ist
makeindex mydoc.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o mydoc.nls
mydoc.nlo: mydoc.tex
latex -interaction=nonstopmode mydoc.tex
clean:
-rm -rf mydoc.dvi
.PHONY: clean
(don't just copy and paste, there has to be a TAB in front of every
rule, not a number of SPACES (if you don't know what I am talking about,
read an introduction to Makefiles).
Of course you could write the Makefile much more generally, but that
wouldn't help readability. There are tons of documentation on Makefiles
on the internet..
I guess you could do something similar with latex-suites compiler
dependency stuff (see :help compiler-dependency), setting the chain to
nlo,nls,dvi and setting compilation rules for .nls and .nlo. That would
be your homework.
Happy hacking (and vimming)
