As a note aside: preview-latex also does error message matching on its
own, and it apparently does a better job at it.  Maybe it would make
sense to port the respective code over and/or try making a common
interface both use.  It does not seem to make much sense getting this
problem tackled independently.

This code duplication would also explain my recurring eerie "didn't
I fix this already" feeling.
