Maybe we should release AUCTeX 14.0.6 and push a corresponding
preview.dtx to CTAN?
For that, we need some additions to GNUmakefile on the main branch, I
think. A starting point can look like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/GNUmakefile b/GNUmakefile

dynvars-check:
rm -f $(wildcard *.elc) $(wildcard style/*.elc) $(DYNVARSFILES)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But we still need some rules in order to create the preview.pdf file
which is required for a CTAN release, IIUC. I'll try to have a look,
but wouldn't mind if someone more fluent in make could also check ;-)
Best, Arash
