How about a different naming scheme for pr*.def internal to AUCTeX?
Say, auc_pr*.def, in auc_preview.sty:
-------------------
\DeclareOption*
   {\InputIfFileExists{auc_pr\CurrentOption.def}{}{\OptionNotUsed}}
-------------------
Now we can fiddle with TEXINPUTS...
We can still have a preview.sty that is intended for standalone
distribution. I imagine doctex can handle this straightaway.
