MikTeX has a --output-directory option and an --aux-directory
option. When both are specfied, the .pdf and the .fls file go to the out
directory, while all the other files (aux, toc, log, and index files cp,
fl, etc...) go to the aux directory.

I do not know what TL does, but as far as MikTeX is concerned using both
options together to point at different directories would be a better
solution to separate the recorder file from the sorted fl index file. At
the same time we should:

- revert the TEXINPUTS setting to what it was at revision  6383 (revision  6595
  is the first one to tackle bug #43122).
- revert ordering of operation similarly
- no more fls -> flz renaming.

That would make a fix quite simpler than the current one, considering
diff to starting point rev 6383.

VBR,
        Vincent
