Question:

Why move the files?  Will LaTeX not respect symlinks?

(Moving ... as in copying ... a file to a work directory just strikes
me as wasteful and prone to synchronization errors (have to check
which is newer, the true copy or the working copy).  Is there some
problem with using a symlink?)
