In 1.3 and later there is a --picky switch that makes dvipng skip
pages with unknown specials and whatnot. Preview-latex uses this to
enable a fallback to the usual dvips->gs converter for pages with such
content.

Earlier versions of dvipng will read --picky as '-p 0' which will
prevent it from outputting any pages (there is usually no page 0). If
you want to enable earlier versions of dvipng, you need to disable
this feature of preview-latex, that is, customize away '-picky' from
preview-dvipng-command.

Then dvipng 1.1-1.2 will work, but will not have this fallback
behaviour. The usual things will work, of course, but things like
pstricks, psfrag, and many other packages that use specials I haven't
implemented will not work.

I'd agree here. WHOA, what has happened to the lispdir checking?
Previosly there was an explicit list of directories we would like to
install into. Now we seem to be using the contents of load-path. What
is the rationale for this?
