I usually used tpx as a front end for PSTricks code generation. Occasionally I used jpicedt to do this. Now I need your hep with the following:

LaTeXDraw : http://latexdraw.sourceforge.net/

I was wondering if there exists a smart direct way to use pdflatex on a source file with .eps, psfrag and PSTricks? I have previouslu used auto-pst-pdf but it tends to regenerate all the numerous pdf files for each graphic in each run even when they have not changed, making the process slow on big files. There is another option that I think is called epstool that does not have this problem but it does not support PSTricks. (I realize that this second question is not specifically a MacTeX question!)
