> The reason the UseLATEX.cmake script copies files to the binary directory is because the latex compiler has no equivalent to the –I flag.  It always looks for files with respect to the directory in which the command was run.  Thus, the easiest way to do an out-of-source build is to simply copy the source over to the binary directory.  If the ML compiler has a way of specifying a list of directories from which to find included files, you are much better off compiling the original source file directly.
