That's valuable clutter though. There are BBL files in there to
inspect/change; there are AUX files for other tools to use; etc. Not
only that, having the AUX available allows for quicker edits later.
Imagine you have a large book that takes a few seconds each pass... If
you changed a single typo somewhere, you wouldn't want to run every pass
again. So I guess one man's trash is... :)
Having said that, the "jobname" option discussed earlier is a nice
compromise. LaTeX still has the AUX files available tucked away out of
sight, and so subsequent builds are efficient while the main working
directory is relatively clean.

> let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='pdf'
> let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf='mkdir -p .build'
Does that solution still allow LaTeX to automatically run BibTeX and
makeindex as needed? It seems like it would break BBL/index generation. <?>
Because you're doing dvi->ps->pdf (as everyone should be (at least those
who don't mind some of the (usually minor) issues with using
transparency in EPS images)), it seems like there would be a better way.
You can configure LaTeX to do the dvi,ps,pdf sequence for you, but you
can add your cleanup stuff to the PDF rule. That way your AUX files
stick around for Vim-LaTeX, and they disappear only at the very end when
the final PDF is produced.
Just a thought...
