A bash script to clean latex temp files

latex-clean.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Note: you might prefer   latexmk -c   since latexmk is great. It doesn't clean all of these, but see
#   https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/83341/clean-bbl-files-with-latexmk-c/83386#83386

Thanks.
I added synctex to the list of extensions (because I don't gzip the synctex file because it doesn't work with my PDF viewer; this is done with -synctex=-1)
