The pstool package
v1.5a
A package like "pst-pdf" for processing PostScript graphics
with psfrag labels within pdfLaTeX documents. The difference
with this package is that every graphic is compiled individually,
drastically speeding up compilation time when only a single
figure needs re-processing.
Running `latex` on pstool.tex will produce the files
pstool.ins, pstool.sty, and README.txt,
and compile the PDF documentation.
Executing `latex pstool.ins` produces the files above
except pstool.ins (and the PDF file, obviously).
Please see the PDF documentation for further information.

Brief change history
v1.5a, March 2013:
- Fix bug introduced in last version in which plain LaTeX compilation
(producing DVI) produced erroneous output above each figure.
v1.5, February 2013:
- Fix =/# mixup in Windows ps2pdf options.
- Check the .tex file for newness when regenerating figures.
- Add [macro-file=...] for a global file to retrieve psfrag macros
(default is "\jobname-pstool.tex").
Thanks to Heinrich Kruger for suggestions for the above.
- Cross-references and citations within external graphics are now supported.
v1.4, November 2010:
- More robust parsing of the main input file to read in the preamble.
Therefore, \EndPreamble is now required much less often.
- Apparently unreleased to CTAN, oops :)
v1.3, July 2009:
- [bitmap] option to control compression of bitmap graphics,
- Package options may now be set anywhere with \pstoolsetup{},
- localised pstool options can be set per-graphic.

pstool – Support for psfrag within pdfLaTeX
The package works in the same sort of way as
pst-pdf, but it also processes the
PostScript graphics with psfrag to add
labels within the graphic, before conversion. Thus the bundle
replaces two steps of an ordinary workflow. (Naturally, the
package requires that \write 18 is enabled.)
Pstool ensures that each version of each graphic is compiled once
only (the graphic is (re-)compiled only if it has changed since
the previous compilation of the document). This drastically
speeds up the running of the package in the typical case (though
the first run of any document is inevitably just as slow as with
any similar package).
