I just added an optional FILE-FN argument which can be either
#'TeX-master-file or #'TeX-region-file.  So now you can do

  (TeX-command-sequence t t #'TeX-region-file)

to recompile the region.  Well, what's missing is that the region file
needs to be updated before doing that but I don't have time to do that.

Too bad the bindings for the only two better terms I can come up, i.e.,
_c_ompile and _r_ecompile, are already taken for _c_ommand and
_r_egion...
