Reading reports, analysing and understanding problem: €50 Reading up on the tools LaTeX now wants instead: €30 Devising and implementing a fix €30 Backward compatibility €10 Cleaning up and shepherding through AUCTeX repository €25 Submitting and shepherding through CTAN €25 Dealing with problem reports and feedback €25 Total: €195 Everybody will tell you that this is a total ripoff (the actual code will likely not be more than a dozen lines) and nobody will volunteer to do it for that price, judging from experience. I spent years on creating preview-latex and got probably about double that amount in return. You'll find people with the necessary skills easily on TeX/LaTeX forums and mailing lists, and maybe the outrage at my insolent demands will help motivate someone to earn a few Karma points. Just don't expect too much regarding the followup work.
