This build procedure uses pdflatex and will produce thesis.pdf.

To produce DVI and PS versions of your document, you should run:

make BUILD_STRATEGY=latex

This will use the latex command to build the document and will produce thesis.dvi, thesis.ps and thesis.pdf documents. You will need psutils installed
