Note: typesetting the document produces the .acn file and makeindex processes it to produce the .acr file which is then read in when typesetting again. Make sure you get the order right! If the `sub makeacn2acr' does the job you need then you need only duplicate the add_cus_dep line and substitute the extensions you are using leaving the sub call the same.

It contains the files that need to be changed as well as instructions for making the change, etc.

Howdy,

First there is a `dependency' which defines that a file with extension xxx is converted to a file with extension yyy by a rule zzz. Then you need to define a `rule', i.e., zzz above, that tells latexmk exactly how to process xxx to get yyy. In latexmk the "add_cus_dep{'xxx', 'yyy', 0, 'zzz'};" command creates the `dependency' while the "sub zzz {...};" command creates the rule. The use of '$_[0]' in the rule is a general name for the root file name to be put in the command defined there. Notice that in the rule  you originally gave there is an '$_[0]'.ist for the style file name so there is a single style file that will be used; you could make a rule for each dependency that uses a special .ist file.

Definitely use a platexmkrc file since what you are trying to do is needed only for this particular project.
