#            Find .tex files, and nuke associated files generated by
#            TeX and LaTeX in the CWD.  Extra files that have no
#            associated .tex file will NOT be deleted -- for example,
#            foo.dvi file will only be deleted if foo.tex is found in
#            the CWD.  The only exception is if a directory named
#            'auto' will be deleted if a .tex file is fond in the CWD
#            -- these get created by Emacs.
