aux files organization

aux files organization

[andrea valle]

Hi to all,

compiling a conTeXt file means generating 6 auxiliary files.
This means that that if I have 4 related .tex files in a folder I will 
have 24 aux files.
Is there a way to specify a folder where to place them in order not to 
clutter my project folder?
(The ideal would be that the aux would be put in a subfolder of the 
folder containing the tex file).

this will probably be supported in context mkiv

There is also

texexec --purge filename

which deletes all the files other than the tuo file and your working 
directory is not populated.
