Unless somebody objects I'll install the code proposed in
<URL:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.auctex.devel/169> which will
remap the key binding of `next-error' to `TeX-next-error'.

I am not overly enthusiastic about this solution but I've had this
code enabled for about a month now and I got accustomed using `M-g n'
exclusively for jumping to the next error.  It's really much more
convenient than `C-c `'.

A better solution would be to use more of the native methods provided
by simple.el or compile.el as proposed by David earlier.  But that
would require major surgery.  `next-error-function' is not available
on XEmacs and `TeX-next-error' as well as functions called by it don't
qualify as functions to be used for `next-error-function' in their
current state.  We'll have to check how to interface with compile.el.

I think remapping the key binding of `next-error' would be an
acceptable solution for now.
