[Therion] Combining PDFs with a page break

[Benedikt Hallinger]

For such cases, I ususally make myself a "build script" that executes 
the neccessary steps to produce my desired output.
in this case it would be some therion commands, and then a final pdfjam 
one.
I would think that adding something "internal" like this could very 
easily lead to code bloat and feature creep.

But wasn't there some thconfig command to execute arbitary code after he 
compile?
