Fine, the default configuration entry is latex instead of latex.exe. After
removing latex.bat and seting the path to GSWIN32C.EXE it began working but
some tuning seems to be needed yet:

1. Preview images appear located below the text line and they are displayed in
a small size, in proportion to the text font size.

2. The right end of text in bold (eg highlighted \newpage in bold red) is
missing (eg large part of the last e in \newpage).

Neither of these problems appear in the Linux version (Fedora Core 4). In fact
it displays preview images a bit larger, in proportion to the font size, but a
small excess on this side is fine as it makes pictures more clear.

My current .emacs file is:

I have got some of these lines googling elsewhere. Again, I would find very
useful a model configuration file for this precompiled version. I think that
it could save time to many people.
