Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Some corrections to documentation, notably for $dvipdf and $dvips_pdf_switch.
2. Improve some messages.
3. Miscellaneous bug corrections.
4. Use clock time for timing reports on cygwin and msys, and not just Windows.
5. On Linux, default command for starting previewers is xdg-open.
6. Add lualatex-related item to @file_not_found patterns.
7. Add -cc (continuous compile) option, equiv. to -pvc -view=none.
8. For msys, make better setting for @rc_system_files.
9. Avoid unnecessary extra run(s) of lualatex after font cache is updated.
10. On Windows, change default for $dvipdf so that -dvipdf works on Windows.
11. Prevent loss of memory of state of custom dependencies that occured
    after a run of *latex that ended early because of an error: When custom
    dependencies were applied to files generated during a run of *latex,
    the memory loss would result in much excessive invocation of custom
    dependencies.
12. Update nomenclature_latexmkrc.
13. Prevent loss of memory of state of cus_deps and their uses after a run of
    *latex that gives an error. Previously, after a run is aborted early
    because of a syntax error (etc) and a second run is done after file(s)
    are corrected, sometimes the loss of memory would cause unnecessary (and
    sometimes very time consuming) extra runs of cus_deps.
14. Correct statement of -bibtex* default in on-line help.
