Yes, that should work.

It is only necessary if you want to keep up with the bleeding edge of bundle
development.  There are also bundles in the subversion repository that are
not in the delivered version of TextMate.  Many bundles are under active
development and get improvements all the time.  Latex is certainly one of
them.


Anyway, files are properly compiled only more complex issues like

I have not used makeindex to build a glossary, only and index, so maybe
glossary building is not something latexmk.pl understands.

You can use the script you wrote before to make your own custom textmate
command.  You can go to the bundle editor and make yourself a new command
and just paste in the contents of the script.  You can replace $1 with
$TM_FILEPATH and you will want to add a line to cd to $TM_DIRECTORY so your
files end up in the right place.

I'm going to give some more thought to how we can allow users to provide
their own custom latex compile scripts without creating their own command in
TextMate.
