Question regarding registertempfile

Question regarding registertempfile

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi Hans,

Currently, luat-run.lua defines registertempfile as:

function luatex.registertempfile(name)
     name = name .. ".mkiv-tmp" -- maybe just .tmp
     if trace_temp_files and not tempfiles[name] then
         report_tempfiles("registering temporary file: %s",name)
     end
     tempfiles[name] = true
     return name
end

Can you remove the first line of this function? (That is, do not modify 
the name at all). This will allow me to use this functionality to remove 
temporary files created by t-filter and t-vim. These files, do not end in 
.mkiv-tmp or .tmp.

Thanks
Aditya

Because mtxrun --ifchanged generates a .md5 file. It is easier to change 
the behaviour of registertempfile than changing the behaviour of mtxrun 
--ifchanged.
