Frank, would you describe the basic flowchart of this idea? I would
like to implement it in my experimental include system.
If your two aux filenames are A and B, during the first run you read
From A and write to B. Presuming no errors, during your next run
however you need to read from B and write to A. How do you keep
track? I'm sure I could arrive at a solution, but if you did this
before and had it working, you maybe solved some other problems I
would have to re-solve.
