[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; auctex does not work properly if TeX-engine is set to luatex

[Carlos Russo]

I'm using Aquamacs 2.1, but this also happens with the nightly build of the 3.x 
dev version.

Imagine that I am editing a file "test.tex" and it is a valid lualatex file.
If I run customize the variable TeX-Engine by setting it to LuaTeX, I'm 
expecting that lualatex is called whenever I press C-c C-c and choose "LaTeX".
Indeed lualatex runs and compiles the file, but the files that are produced are 
called "texput.aux",  "texput.pdf" and  "texput.synctex.gz" rather than 
"test.*".

This is a nuissance because if press C-c C-c again, I expect Aquamacs to offer 
the option "View". Instead, since there is no file "test.pdf", Aquamacs offers 
to compile the file again.

I'm not sufficiently proficient with emacs-lisp to fix the problem, but it 
seems that the fix should be rather simple, since I could only see that 
happening with the LuaTeX engine. (I'm using MacTeX 2010, but I don't actually 
think it matters).

Any hints on how to solve this?

Thanks,
Carlos
