Removing for this message again because it is only concerned with
folding.

Ugh, I should probably test the code before I post it.  But I'm quite
baffled now because I thought this was a sure shot.

The code does not work because in the hook the global value of
`pd-folding-done-p' is checked.  When setting a breakpoint on
`TeX-fold-buffer' I get the following backtrace:

Debugger entered--entering a function:
* TeX-fold-buffer()
  (if pd-folding-done-p nil (TeX-fold-mode 1) (TeX-fold-buffer) (setq 
pd-folding-done-p t))
  (unless pd-folding-done-p (TeX-fold-mode 1) (TeX-fold-buffer) (setq 
pd-folding-done-p t))
  (lambda nil (unless pd-folding-done-p (TeX-fold-mode 1) (TeX-fold-buffer) 
(setq pd-folding-done-p t)))()
  run-hooks(text-mode-hook TeX-mode-hook LaTeX-mode-hook)
  apply(run-hooks (text-mode-hook TeX-mode-hook LaTeX-mode-hook))
  TeX-run-mode-hooks(text-mode-hook TeX-mode-hook LaTeX-mode-hook)
  latex-mode()
  noweb-select-mode()
  noweb-post-command-function()
  run-hooks(post-command-hook)

Now when I check `pd-folding-done-p' with `C-h v', the local value I
can see when using `C-h v' in the LaTeX buffer is not there.  Does
anybody have an idea why?
