Hello,

Just something which might be usefull as a workaround.
I know org-babel-tangle allows you to tangle blocks to certain location,
and there is also a hook available for post-processing.

Now what if you'd put your whole file in a source block, with language
'org',
tangle it to the location you want and use exporting capabilities as
post-processing tool?

Could be an awfull workaround :)
but it's the first thing that popped up in my mind when reading your
question

have fun,
Dieter
