Are you saying you inspect these files by hand, regularly?  I almost
never have, and I never change them manually.  So keeping them around,
but out of sight, seems desirable.

Good point, in fact it does break BibTeX et al.

I've tried to configure this before, but had no luck.  Based on
latex-suite.txt, I thought the following would do the trick:

let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat='pdf'
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='dvi,ps,pdf'
let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf='dvi,ps,pdf'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi='mkdir -p .build && cp .build/* . ;'
            \.'latex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape $*.tex'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_ps='dvips -P pdf -q  $*.dvi && rm -f $*.dvi'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf='ps2pdf $*.ps'
            \.'&& rm -f $*.ps'
            \.'&& mv *.aux *.bbl *.bl *.blg *.lof *.log *.lot *.nav *.out '
            \.'      *.snm *.toc .build/'

But when I set it this way, it just compiles the dvi file and then
stops.  What am I missing?
