Howdy,

By the way, using the pst-pdf package along with the pst-pdfmk engine  
(rather than the pdflatexmk engine) will accomplish the same thing as  
auto-pst-pdf but automatically run the ``INTERNAL'' processing the  
correct number of times to resolve any internal cross-references, etc.

Good Luck,
