Hello,

The program that can be used is rubber (

$ apt-cache show rubber
Description: an automated system for building LaTeX documents
 This is a building system for LaTeX documents. It is based on a 
routine that
 runs just as many compilations as necessary. The module system provides a
 great flexibility that virtually allows support for any package with 
no user
 intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of the document. The
 standard modules currently provide support for bibtex, dvips, dvipdfm,
 pdftex, makeindex. A good number of standard packages are supported,
 including graphics/graphicx with automatic conversion between various
 graphics formats and Metapost compilation.

I have been able to add it to my emacs config a few years ago, but I 
don't have it anymore. Should not be too difficult though.

Replacing textify with rubber should do the trick?
