That was easy enough.  Just had to use \sp instead of ^ since ^ had
its catcode changed to "special character".

I am checking this in.  If somebody wants to take up the preview-latex
bindings and disable one of the RefTeX parts with

issues in the code first, and see if I can improve on some
installation issues.
