There is a package, print/latex-mk, which includes a latex.mk and uses 
some variables like LATEX_MK.  Currently it does not have a dependency 
listed on latex (not sure why, it will build but certainly not do 
anything useful without latex being installed) but I'm wondering if 
there will be any wierd interaction with your latex.mk.  I think I need 
to add a latex dependency to that package.
