Overriding implicit rules

[Joel J. Adamson]

<#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign>
Dear help-make,

I have a Makefile for building a LaTeX project (see attached) and I
would like to run LaTeX as many times as necessary to get all citations
and cross-references correct.  When I pass -r to make on the
command-line, I get the desired behavior.  However, when I just run

# make -k pdf

or

# make -k dvi

I get only one run of LaTeX.  I have specified my own pattern rules, and
tried renaming the implicit command $(TEX), but all that does is one run
my desired LaTeX with flags.  Without renaming $(TEX), I get the "tex"
command, which is not what I want.

Is there any way to specify *in the Makefile* that I want make to run
*my* commands?  Just specifying the commands is not working.
