commit f52479b816c0e6097293221b8488144cbdea9123
Author: Mosè Giordano <m...@gnu.org>
Date:   Fri Nov 6 23:34:35 2015 +0100

    Improve checking of a TeX distribution and make it optional
    
    * tex-buf.el (TeX-check-TeX, TeX-check-TeX-command-not-found): New
    customizable options.
    (TeX-command): Do a better check for the presence of a TeX
    distribution.  Run `call-process' instead of `executable-find',
    like `TeX-run-command' actually does.  The point is that
    `call-process' and `start-process' use `PATH' environment
    variable, `executable-find' uses `exec-path' variable and they do
    not need to match, but we should check what `TeX-run-command' will
    really do.
    
    * doc/auctex.texi (Processor Options): Document `TeX-check-TeX'.
    
    * doc/changes.texi: Mention `TeX-check-TeX'.
