Well, at least to me, having an open file button as used in Emacs is not
reasonable. (c:  But you are right that we should at least provide ways
for the user to configure the tool bar in a way that adheres to the rest
of Emacs.  (Where "the rest of Emacs" is a highly subjective term.  When
testing I used the tool bar in the *scratch* buffer as a reference.)

`open-file' and `new-file' need to be swapped.

And `TeX-bar-TeX-buttons' and `TeX-bar-LaTeX-buttons' have to be adapted
as well.  Either we provide both `new-file' and `open-file' in the
default or we special-case them based on the Emacs version.  Again, I
would not mind sparing some space by not offering `open-file' on Emacs
