shouldn't this be \\\\ ?

I see two obvious ways to speed it up:
- use (re-search-forward "\\\\usepackage\\[\\(.*\\)\\]{inputenc}")
  and once it matched, check if it's inside a comment.  This should be
  *much* faster because of how the regexp-engine works (basically,
  it will backtrack much less).  The search as it is coded now could very
  well fail with "regexp stack overflow".
- don't search through the whole buffer but only though the first part (10K
  or so) of it.

The filename regexp was broken, I've adjusted it so it doesn't get triggered
for .texi files.
