[AUCTeX] Fwd: [tldoc] tl17 doc: synctex news

[Denis Bitouzé]

Hi,

this may be useful for AUCTeX (see "Front ends and build systems that
want to remove temp files may need adjusting.").

All the best.

Unfortunately, I've been informed (thanks Herb) that SyncTeX's temporary
file name has changed. This can affect build processes trying to clean
temp files, so I think it's important enough to put in the doc. I added
the following paragraph (and added a "the" to the item about Dvips).

I dearly hope there will be no more changes to the doc. Thanks/sorry, Karl.
