Small script like latexmk to run a LaTeX document controlled
from within the document itself.

The syntax of `runtexfile`

     runtexfile [options] filename

eg

     runtexfile test
     runtexfile -v test

possible options are (short,long):

    -h,--help
    -v,--verbose
    -V,--version
    <file>  .tex file

The TeX or LaTeX document has to define the comamnds at the
beginning of the document. Only empty lines are possible
before the command lines:

%! HV runtexfile
%! HV xindex
%! HV runtexfile

\documentclass{foo}
...

In this case the given filename from runtexfile is used.
Other filenames can be used inside angles:

%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV biber
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV xindex
%! HV xindex  --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.vwd <test2.vwx>
%! HV xindex  --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.dbd <test2.dbx>
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape

\documentclass{...}
...
