I am working on a project where a version control identifier is
extracted through the \write18 mechanism and added to the output.
This particular problem may of course be solved in other ways, for
instance extracting the identifier and adding it to the input stream
before the main document or setting the LATEX environment variable.
However, a really easy solution, is to allow texi2dvi to pass the
shell-escape option to the TeX processor, in the same way src-specials
currently is. Thus, it is available more or less as a drop-in
replacement for the "latex" command.
Attached is a patch for such functionality against CVS revision 1.159 of
file texinfo/util/texi2dvi. Consider copyleft to be assigned to the FSF.
Yours sincerely,
Roland Kaufmann
