Hm, I'm not sure how to deal with this in a portable way.  On GNU/Linux
it can be made to work by not shell-quoting `preview-format-name' in
`TeX-inline-preview-internal'.  But not shell-quoting the name will lead
to trouble if the file name contains a dollar sign since the format name
is only quoted with double quotes in `preview-undump-replacements'.  So
if we want to prevent variable expansion we will have to put the
(un-shell-quoted) format name into single quotes.  But I am not sure if
this will work on Windows.

In case we keep the shell-quoting of the format name, does anybody know
if it is possible to make kpathsea interpret the name correctly?
