The current directory is writable, but I still want to put all my output 
into a build directory. It is a policy decision, and is done in mind of 
read-only source media _or_ shared source media, like NFS. 

Currently, I have to figure out what directory I am in, append the name of 
the LaTeX input to that, change to the output directory, curse, and them run 
LaTeX. Then copy the DVI file elsewhere.
