Detailed Description

Calls the requisite programs for ultimately generating a PDF file from Latex that came from doxygen.

Parameters:
lat_path  The shortened version of the directory name where the latex files can be found. It is assumed that zlx_<lat_path> exists in a subdirectory from where this was called.
In order to get a PDF from a doxygen project, you have to make sure that doxygen generates latex files. Then you have to call various commands to get latex to generate a postscript and then PDF file. The steps are the same for all projects.

Rather than polluting the higher-level scripts that are essentially the same for all doxygen projects, this separates the details from the application-specific projects. Thus, if doxygen changes how PDF files are generated, this can be modified in one place to handle it.

Limitations and Caveats:
This is intended to be called from a 40_latex_gen.b file that determines the directory name.
