Compile script

Compile script

I have been asking a lot of questions lately and getting very speedy
replies. Time to give something back. ;-}

I attached a script I made to easily compile ConTeXt files in the current
directory. Default it looks if there are tex files where there is no pdf
file, or the pdf file is older. Those are compiled.

It is possible that a tex file has not changed, but a file that it depends
on has. That is why there is the parameter --all. When this is given, all
tex files are compiled. I hope it is useful to someone.

good idea. it would be cool to extend it to utilize texworks'
modelines<http://code.google.com/p/texworks/wiki/TipsAndTricks>,
which are a pretty straightforward way to tell programs which files are root
files and which command shjould be used to compile them (a bit like
shebangs).

i would like to see these standardized in some way (and a good start is to
tell everyone they are there)
