Hm, I can't even generate a preview of, say, a frame.  Well, a preview
is generated, but it's empty.  I suspect this is because beamer loads
hyperref.  And preview and hyperref are incompatible.  (At least I
suspect this is the problem.)

At the moment the query is hard-coded.  You could probably define a
keyboard macro to do the work for you.

At least I don't plan to do something like this.  And AFAICS, especially
subversion would not offer anything worthwhile over CVS in the context
of AUCTeX development.

I hope that people contribute to a project because they are interested
in the software or the matter, or because they need a certain feature,
not because the project uses a specific VCS.
