Sebastian, I have a user who raised the following issue.  What do you
think of this?

Like LaTeX, jadetex often requires multiple passes on a file to get
crossreferences.  Unlike LaTeX, jadetex gives no warnings when its
labels may still be wrong, making it difficult to script just the
right number of jadetex runs.

With LaTeX, I can have something like

RERUN = "(There were undefined references|Rerun to get (cross-references|the bar
s) right)"
%.dvi: %.tex
	latex $<
	egrep $(RERUN) $*.log && latex $< ; true
	egrep $(RERUN) $*.log && latex $< ; true

Please have jadetex emit a similar warning, to make it more easily
scriptable.
