Unless it would make sense to toss the whole dvipng thing overboard and
just keep imagemagick.

I'm not sure any more that it can all be explained clearly in the
docstring (at least I've been trying different mental gyrations and I
have not come up with anything satisfactory). So maybe the thing to do
is add a page to worg and a pointer to it in the docstring. If that's
acceptable, I volunteer to write the worg page (at least the initial
version).
As a separate issue, I proposed some debugging aids:

... and a call-process-log function that logs the command in *Messages*
before executing it with call-process (or something more or less
equivalent). It would be used wherever call-process is used now.
I would actually propose that the debug variable inhibit the deletion
of intermediate files everywhere, not just in latex preview.
