It might be a consideration to create a common command
TeX-dvips-command that the other commands refer to.  But we certainly
should not change the defaults from secure operation to insecure
operation: preview-latex does not move the directory location of the
DVI file, so it will only fail when normal dvips commands would also
fail.
