[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; AUCTeX does not follow customisation

Hello!

In my customisation I have:
'(TeX-output-view-style (quote (("^dvi$" ("^landscape$" "^pstricks$\ \|^pst-\\|^psfrag$") "%(o?)dvips -t landscape %d -o && texdoc --just- view %f") ("^dvi$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "%(o?)dvips %d -o && texdoc --just-view %f") ("^dvi$" ("^a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\ \|sem-a4$" "^landscape$") "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a4r -s 0 %d") ("^dvi$" "^a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\\|sem-a4$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a4 %d") ("^dvi$" ("^a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)$" "^landscape$") "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5r -s 0 %d") ("^dvi$" "^a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)$" "% (o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5 %d") ("^dvi$" "^b5paper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper b5 %d") ("^dvi$" "^letterpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper us %d") ("^dvi $" "^legalpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper legal %d") ("^dvi$" "^executivepaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper 7.25x10.5in %d") ("^dvi$" "." "%(o?)xdvi %dS %d") ("^pdf$" "." "texdoc --just-view %o") ("^html?$" "." "netscape %o"))))
but AUCTeX stopped using texdoc when I upgraded from 11.85 11.86. It uses evince which does not exist in Mac OS X – and which is a really bad choice because someone who has TeX installed would customise texdoc instead of some auxiliary software. TeX-output-view-style is documented as this: 

        TeX-output-view-style is a variable defined in `tex.el'.
        Its value is shown below.
        
        Documentation:
        List of output file extensions and view options.
        
        If the first element (a regular expression) matches the output
        file extension, and the second element (a regular expression)
        matches the name of one of the style options, any occurrence of
        the string `%V' in a command in `TeX-command-list' will be
        replaced with the third element.  The first match is used; if no
        match is found the `%V' is replaced with `%v'.  The outcome of `%v'
        is determined by the settings in `TeX-view-style' which therefore
        serves as a fallback for `TeX-output-view-style'.  The second
        element may also be a list of regular expressions, in which case
        all the regular expressions must match for the element to apply.
        
        You can customize this variable.
        
        Value:
        (("^dvi$"
          ("^landscape$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$")
          "%(o?)dvips -t landscape %d -o && texdoc --just-view %f")
("^dvi$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "%(o?)dvips %d -o && texdoc --just-view %f") 
         ("^dvi$"
          ("^a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\\|sem-a4$" "^landscape$")
          "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a4r -s 0 %d")
("^dvi$" "^a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\\|sem-a4$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS - paper a4 %d") 
         ("^dvi$"
          ("^a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)$" "^landscape$")
          "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5r -s 0 %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5 %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^b5paper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper b5 %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^letterpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper us %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^legalpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper legal %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^executivepaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper 7.25x10.5in %d")
         ("^dvi$" "." "%(o?)xdvi %dS %d")
         ("^pdf$" "." "texdoc --just-view %o")
         ("^html?$" "." "netscape %o"))
        
        Original value was
        (("^dvi$"
          ("^landscape$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$")
          "%(o?)dvips -t landscape %d -o && gv %f")
         ("^dvi$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "%(o?)dvips %d -o && gv %f")
         ("^dvi$"
          ("^\\(?:a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\\|sem-a4\\)$" "^landscape$")
          "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a4r -s 0 %d")
("^dvi$" "^\\(?:a4\\(?:dutch\\|paper\\|wide\\)\\|sem-a4\\)$" "% (o?)xdvi %dS -paper a4 %d") 
         ("^dvi$"
          ("^\\(?:a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)\\)$" "^landscape$")
          "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5r -s 0 %d")
("^dvi$" "^\\(?:a5\\(?:comb\\|paper\\)\\)$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper a5 %d") 
         ("^dvi$" "^b5paper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper b5 %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^letterpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper us %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^legalpaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper legal %d")
         ("^dvi$" "^executivepaper$" "%(o?)xdvi %dS -paper 7.25x10.5in %d")
         ("^dvi$" "." "%(o?)xdvi %dS %d")
         ("^pdf$" "." "xpdf -remote %s -raise %o %(outpage)")
         ("^html?$" "." "netscape %o"))
        
        [back]

'texdoc --files' shows:

        texdoc 0.72
        Configuration files are:
            absent      
/Users/pete/Library/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-universal-darwin.cnf
        (*) active      /Users/pete/Library/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
            absent      /Users/pete/Library/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-dist.cnf
absent /usr/local/texlive/2010/../texmf-local/texdoc/texdoc- universal-darwin.cnf 
            absent      /usr/local/texlive/2010/../texmf-local/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
            active      /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
(*) This is the recommended configuration file for your personal preferences.
None of the existing configuration files contains the string "evince" and neither does /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin/texdoc (they prefer xpdf, maybe because of pdffonts/pdfinfo). What I can reproduce every time is this: 

 • C-c C-c shows the prompt "Command: (default View) " in mini-buffer
• when I press RET the prompt changes to "View command: " and then the text "evince <file.pdf>" is displayed.
AUCTeX's tex.el has evince set in its TeX-view-program-list-builtin variable.
Again: it's better to rely on the cleverness of the TeX users that they configure texdoc. Since TeX Live 2009 the texdoc utility has the option "--just-view" (then not documented and still today) to make texdoc a splendid wrapper around all TeX related viewers.
