 Okay, I'll look at that next time.  I didn't know this variable.
 
 "Why do you want to use dynamic GENERATE_PLIST?"
 The answer is WAY more complicated than a simple pdf option.  Believe me, I 
had good reason to remove the existing static list and replace it with the 
dynamic one.  The number of permutations of files with the entire set of 
options is large, and using a static list is prone to error.  Without going 
into a lot of detail, it would be best to accept that a dynamic PLIST is the 
way to go here, which will always be correct.  The existing PLIST isn't 
"correct" minus pdf either, it's going several existing problems with it.
