Thanks.

Now I understand what you were doing during the talk. My knowledge is
too limited to use a Makefile, but I'm intrigued.
One comment. I've been using LaTeX for about 15 years, Emacs for about 2
years and Org-Mode for about 8 months. My LaTeX files are heavily
customized and I'm used to working with them without org-mode. My few,
and not very serious, attempts to move my LaTeX work to org-mode have
not given satisfactory results, so I've put off changing my work flow
until I have more time to figure out the LaTeX export features of
org-mode. But, I am using org-mode extensively for my other work related
tasks. I have org files that keep track of my students' grades and my
web site is built from a single org file. As you pointed out in your
talk, org-mode allows one to work!
