The only key binding for `next-error' on those is `C-x `'.  This will
then be available for `TeX-next-error'.

I doubt that XEmacs users will find this very funny.  We should rather
leave `M-g' alone.

Currently I don't have access to an Emacs 21, so checking this would
be rather inconvenient.  In case there already is a binding for `M-g'
we should probably leave it alone as well.

Besides, we don't have to worry about `M-g p' because AUCTeX does not
provide functionality for jumping to a previous error.

It will even be "difficult" to describe in the manual because unless I
am mistaken the outcome of remapping depends upon the binding of
`next-error' being customized by the user.
