currently a mkiv run generates:
.tui -> becomes .tuo
.tua -> becomes .tuc
and the context script generates a .top file with options
then there is
.pdf
.log
now, the tui/tuo pair will go away once all multipass info is stored in
the tua/tuc files
that leaves:
jobname.tex (mandate)
jobname.tua (old multipass)
jobname.tuc (new multipass)
jobname.top (job options)
jobname.pdf (result, mandate)
jobname.log (mandate, no way in tex to turn it off)
so, it's not that many files at all; ok, i can try to save one of the
multipass files (for which i need random access in the file which might
be a problem on some os's) and deleting the job/log file can be an
option too (as in texexec) but there will always be multipass data (till
the moment that we have multiple runs in mem, which is on the agenda for
many year sfrom now)
