+Rubber is a building system for LaTeX documents.
+
+It is based on a routine that runs just as many compilations as necessary. The
+module system provides a great flexibility that virtually allows support for
+any package with no user intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of
+the document. The standard modules currently provide support for bibtex,
+dvips, dvipdfm, pdftex, makeindex. A good number of standard packages are
+supported, including graphics/graphicx (with automatic conversion between
+various formats and Metapost compilation).
