[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.81; Metadata generation fails

[Jan-Ake Larsson]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific
(La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file
showing the problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

Ah, up and running, at last.

If manually doing make install-metadata in the preview subdirectory,
it fails. The reason appears to be that there is no etc/preview.
$PACKAGE will be "preview", not "auctex".

I had to do this because...well, I wanted to do without installing the
TeX sources. I guess I could have ./configured with some -whatever-TeX
switch. Perhaps we should allow for disabling TeX-part install
altogether?
