[Rant-cafe] Generators detecting generators

[Russel Winder]

I am developing a generator for working with LaTeX books.  The idea is
that there is a set of conventions for the file store layout and file
naming which if followed means that the Rantfile is:

	gen LaTeXBook

and all the targets are automatically generated -- some variations are
possible using the usual hash of parameters technique.

My problem of the moment is needing to handle clean up.  I think the
best mechanism would be for the LaTeXBook generator to be able to
discover whether the Rant clean or autoclean generators are being used
and then work with them.

Can anyone give me a pointer to paradigms of this sort idiomatic use?

Thanks.
