Well, I got the preview.sty fix in as well.  So we basically have
remaining on the wishlist some testing, if people would do that:

a) RPMs
b) XEmacs packaging
c) functionality in Emacs 21.4, CVS, XEmacs-whatever

With regard to the RPMs: it might be a good idea to provide a
successor package to preview-latex-styles or whatever distributions
chose to call it, for the sake of LyX etc.  It turns out that
preview.sty gets explicitly removed from the teTeX-3.0 RPMs for the
sake of whatever old package provided preview.sty and friends in the
TeX tree.

While we are not necessarily the right address to sort this mess out,
it would seem that a purely optional package could do no harm (famous
last words).
