During the last two weeks Nico Poppelier and I had a discussion on how
to re-implement and improve the handling of auxiliary files.  In the
following I will forward the more important messages to the LaTeX-L
list.

  -Rainer

It started with with following remark by Nico:

Rainer, instead of 'table of contents' I suggest 'auxiliary files,
reading from & writing to'.

The past week I've been working on table of contents-per chapter, i.e.
how do I get a main .toc file that looks like

  \relax
  \@input{chapter1.toc}
  \@input{chapter2.toc}

and all \contentsline lines on secundary .toc files chapter1.toc, ...

If you have this, you can create a chapter table of contents by including
the .toc file for that chapter. Has anyone worked on this before?
Is there already something available (Rainer, Frank)?
If not, is anyone interested in seeing what I've done to get this?
