I agree, but I confirm `TeX-view-program-list' is built in the wrong
way when changed with customize interface, as reported by Дарио.  It
worked as expected before commit

  * 59ccf34 (2014-11-28)  Check the viewer executable exists before opening it.

where the customization type of the variable was changed from an alist
to a repeated list, but the command part of the type hasn't been
modified.  How should it be fixed?

Bye,
