I think we should extract the `TeX-region-create' call in
`TeX-command-region' into a separate function `TeX-update-region-file'
(oh, another update).  This could then be used by `TeX-command-region',
`LaTeX-command-section', and their TeX-update counterparts.

Hm, indeed.  When typing `C-c C-x' emacs seems to wait for another key,
but `C-c C-x <f1>' says that there are not keys defined with that
prefix.  Looks like that bindings points to some empty keymap?

I like Ivan's suggestions.  Basically, the command is something like
"make all", so how about either `TeX-make-all', `TeX-execute-all',
`TeX-command-all', or `TeX-compile-all'?  The binding C-c C-a would make
sense for all of them.

I'm not sure which name is best, though.  `TeX-command-all' has the nice
property that then all processing commands have the TeX-command prefix.
So maybe `TeX-command-compile-all' would be best compromise
wrt. discoverability, descriptiveness, and mnemonics.
