The latexmk perl program, rewritten and presently maintained by John Collins, automates this multi-pass process. By default it first runs (pdf/xe)latex on a source file, determines file dependencies by examining the .aux and .log files produced by the run and then automatically runs bibtex and/or makeindex, if needed, and the correct number of additional runs of (pdf/xe)latex to generate the bibliography, index and cross-references. This latest version of latexmk also works correctly with the nomencl package as well as the glossary and glossaries packages and other packages that produce multiple bibliographies or indexes.

Of course, I discard with the 

Trash Aux Files

which throughs out everything but the kitchen sink.

But you did not respond. This would be really nice to have.
