Recipients listed in the Cc header are usually not the primary
addressees of a message.  Please take this into consideration next
time you write things like above.  And no, I don't want to discuss
this any further.

The following should do.  I don't know how to get rid of the first two
lines of output, though.  Maybe by providing a function in AUCTeX
which provides the respective output.

emacs -batch -eval "(progn (require 'tex-site) (require 'latex) (require 'reporter) (let ((reporter-status-count 0) (reporter-eval-buffer (current-buffer))) (reporter-dump-state \"AUCTeX\" '(window-system LaTeX-version TeX-style-path TeX-auto-save TeX-parse-self TeX-master) nil nil)) (message (buffer-string)))"
