As far as I know this is not possible. As an alternative you could
invoke a function for cleaning up generated files. I am occasionally
using this:
(defcustom TeX-clean-extensions
'("aux" "bbl" "blg" "dvi" "fot" "glo" "gls" "lof" "idx" "ilg" "ind"
"log" "lot" "pdf" "toc" "url")
"List of extensions of files to be deleted by `TeX-clean'.")
(defun TeX-clean ()
"Delete all generated files associated with current master file."
(interactive)
(let ((basename (TeX-active-master nil t)))
(when (y-or-n-p "Delete generated files? ")
(dolist (ext TeX-clean-extensions)
(let ((file (concat basename "." ext)))
(when (file-exists-p file)
(delete-file file)))))))
I guess I should generalize this, i.e. make it work and configurable
with all AUCTeX modes, and check it in. Although it is not a truely
external command I'd like it to show up in the Command menu or `C-c
C-c' and friends respectively.
