I think that --with-package-lispdir is ok: you'll only need this
option when doing some package arranging stuff.  I guess that I'll
probably be wreaking havoc on the preview-latex configuration stuff
now that I think I might have thought most of the stuff through.  I
don't know whether I'll get to do the Makefile.in stuff Ralf has been
thinking about, though.  Maybe after the release: then he'll probably
fix it anyway once it pollutes the AUCTeX CVS.  I still don't know
what I should be asking with regard to picking apart dvipng at either
Savannah or Sourceforge.

I guess that I don't need to tell Sourceforge much right now and we
should be able to keep the CVS there intact for read access and dvipng
until the further fate of dvipng has been established.
